well idk i found a crack in the exaust housing side of my turbo where the wastegate flap is located and i was just wandering if a crack like that would cause me to lose that much boost by not spooling the turbo and leaking into the exaust?Anyone know?

Yes, it's entirely possible.

With the turbo sitting over there, what's the oil return look like?

How big is the crack? are we talking small hairline, or Grand Canyon like?

If it's that common little crack in the housing right by the w/g hole, it isn't enough to hurt anything...
