you have stock turbine and compressor hosings the compressor and the turbine may be different then stock whether they are more efficient or not, they are most likely very close to stock!

I think the wall has been grinded down to fit a bigger wheel in the stock housing. which is what a BNR stage one is.

no it should boost just fine!
You can check to see if the turbing was clipped? if that is the case then that might be a problem. You can check by removing the rear plate you can tell if the turbine has been machined to remove some part of the fins!

You can't leak enough air out of a small vac hose to cause a big enough to be deteced boost leak, this is not your problem.
