You could be losing power from that leak. Probably loosing boost pressure. Stock cat doesnt help matters either, if your state doesnt require it, I'd remove it.

FasDepending on how bad the leak is you might not be getting full boost, but an exhaust lkeak pre turbo will yeild pretty high egts really fast so you need to be carfull and don't push it
