I think I found a Problem

So i am the guy whos unhappy with the performance on my f250 with all of the banks stuff. I just found a horribly cracked rubber seal that conects my boost guage to the pipe coming off of my turbo. I also took off the intake to inspect the turbine blades and all look symetrical and blades spin freely. I cleaned and reoiled my K&N filter and made sure all of my clamps were SUPER tight on the intercooler. Would a small hole like the one on the boost guage make me loose ALOT of power? I wont be able to drive it untill my K&N dries and i get a replacement seal. ANY IMPUT WOULD BE APPRECIATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it will cause a loss of boost but not all of it, but if its tied inline with your map sensor it will cause problems by sending the wrong reading to the pcm

PBP, yes that can be a major problem. If the hole is in the line before the map sensor that is most likely your problem. When I did my stage 1's I forgot to hook the map sensor line back up. I thought I really screwed my truck up. It ran like a dog, no power etc. Then I remembered the line. Hooked it up and the truck ran like a raped ape. If the map can't see boost, it won't give you any fuel. Fix the hole and let us know.

Sounds like a simple fix. I hope that's all it is.
