Anyone had or dealt with real bad exhaust leaks and if so would they affect idle/vac??
I have a leak and think it is the DV, but if not then it has to be on the exhaust side, pre wastegate.
Anyone?

That's what I thought.
I will just try to change out my dc with someone local that has one to confirm.

Really? Then why was my idle at a constant 950 rpm when I was leaking exhaust through my exhaust manifold gaskets? And why was my spool up so slow? Vaccuum leaks cause high idle...

Leak between the head and the turbo (in the header, crossover or at the WG inlet) will affect spool up in a bad way.
An exhaust leak AFTER the turbo can also affect spool up and performance, but in a good way
