Could have this been affecting power?
So last night i got home from work and decided to take the airbox out and a couple things and readjust everything to make sure everything was tight.. I noticed that the nipple under the elbow that goes to the turbo wasnt capped off... I capped it off last night and took the car for a couple of runs on my way to work this morning... I did feel the turbo spool a bit quicker and a little more torque....
Was this really affecting me? Its been like this the whole time... Opinions please

Are you talking about the turbo outlet? Either way yes it will make a difference.

if that nipple wasn't capped off, or connected to the breather hose like it should be, you were letting in unmetered air. It will make your car run leaner which could actually make you faster depending on your tune

if it's the tiny little nipple used for the stock boost control soleniod return, it's a non issue. That thing is probably only allowing about as much unmetered air into your system as your manual boost control is bleeding off. The two would cancel each other out.
