Could my significant power loss be from the crack in my turbo flange?

Default Could my significant power loss be from the crack in my turbo flange?
you know the part that attaches to the 'header' piece. It has a crack about 4cm long in it and exhaust leaks out. Could that be the cause of power loss? When I was in the underground parking garage tonight the car made loud whistle like noise (not high pitched, but definitley air moving through a restrictive space). Any ideas?

if you are losing boost, that would explain it. can you check your boost levels?

Only on the DBWs .. the nDBWs you'll need a guage. A crack in the turbo flange would rob boost.
