Question I need help, please - boost gasket

Hey,
OK - the dealership thing is coming to an end, hopefully. When they test drove it last week, they found that it had no high end power. Basically, the turbo system wasn't working.
They found that some gasket in the turbo system (between engine and turbos) was blown out, and they were replacing it today. Does anyone know if this will fix the problem?

I haven't been following what's going on because ... well ... I don't follow much of what goes on because I don't come around often, but ... are they replacing the housing -> exhaust manifold gaskets or are they replacing the exhaust manifold -> turbo gaskets? In either case, they are a marginal problem that could lower boost output and increase spoolup time, but they're not going to be the cause of no boost at all. What kind of boost are you getting? The good news for the dealer is that they can have your *** for the labor cost of replacing either of those gasket sets.

Yeah, they don't let DK out much, his work release on parole is only for one day a month. The rest of the month the boys have HIS ***.
