6.4L air leaking... HELP NEEDED

Hello folks I could really use your help here... The other day I got on my 6.4L and I blew an intercooler boot, and had to replace that... Lost all boost when that blew out. Thought that I had everything fixed once I replaced that but then I heard a noice difference from before. Everytime I give my truck any gas it sounds like its leaking/sucking air. The leaking/sucking doesn’t happen barley at all if any at all when it is at idel... I got my boost back when I replaced the boot but still seems to be lacking some boost power and the egt’s are running substantially high. This is my first 6.4L so I don’t really know too much about this engine yet but I do know something definitely isn’t right. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

check to make sure all boots are fully seated...they often curl up during install

also make sure they are tight
