turbo leak

hey everyone, i have a boost lost when the car gets hot, i can only see 8-5-8. I have checked every single hose there is.

Now i know i have a little exhaust leak on my turbos, could that be my problem? When the housing gets hot, it leaks too much to give full boost?

thanks a lot

I had the same problem on a differrent car though. What was happening with mine was that the seal between the DP And the turbo was almost non existant and it was creating a vacuum leak when the car got hot (metal warping and all that) When I did my exhaust over the "whistle" was gone. Depending on where the leak is it will cause a loss of boost, maybe due to lack of vacuum after the turbo....dont hold me to anything thing though (I am still learning turbos) Goodluck!!
