Exhaust leak

I have my suspisions but I just wanted a second (or third) opinion. My car, when I got it, sounded fine turbo noises and all... I went non sequential because of boost issues but since doing so I have heard an exhaust leak noise coming out of the car... It kinda goes away at high rpms (maybe i just cant hear it) but its from around the turbos and when i switch back to sequential the leaking noise goes away.

Is it possible that my second turbo could be shot??

possibly a cracked manifold? I checked and torqed all the bolts I could see with no improvement.... Im not too worried about this since im going single turbo soon. But before I do that I plan to run 15lbs for a little while on the stockers. So its always nice to be "in the know"

the manifolds do like to crack a lot, but I havent seen one that was cracked so that it leaked..

did you do the full non seq? or the easy way? if you did the full and took off the turbos, did you replace the dp gasket? did you re check the studs on the dp, because sometimes they will get loose after a couple days when you first put it back on.

i did the rikki version since im planning on going single anyways... i didnt feel like all the work was necessary. so they dont crack so bad they leak?? what about the possibility of something wrong with the second turbo... could that cause an exhaust leak somewhere?
