I hope its just a exhaust leak. I know it wasnt the smartest thing to go get it tuned with the broken studs, but i didnt hear it leaking. I just find it hard to believe that a leak would rob the car of that much hp. The car only has 18k on it and its not beat so i dont think it can be anything really serious!

I also forgot to add that my torque was 310 and the Hp was only 275. Thanks guys for all the input that you have given me if have you guys have anymore please let me know. Any clue why the torque would be so much higher compared to the hp?

So i took the heat shield off the exhuast manifold and sprayed soap and water near the broken studs and sure enough it started bubbling pretty bad. So im gonna take the turbo off and get the studs drilled out and put my new o2 housing on hopefully go back to the dyno soon to see if that is the whole problem.

Idk as soon as i get some time to take the turbo off and bring it to a shop and get the studs drilled out and new ones put in and put the turbo back on. Hopefully next 2 weeks.

I dont wanna say who tuned the car. The tuner was fine and was a great guy to deal with. I pulled the turbo yesterday and i had more than the one exhaust leak. The o2 dump gasket was destroyed because i had a broken stud on that side of the turbo also.The gasket was about to snap in half. So im pretty sure that those exhaust leaks robbed the power. Is this Kyle with the GG mr?
