Boost Leak

Well day before yesterday, I was rockin out a boost test and I could here massive air leakage.. but was having a hell of a time finding where it was coming from. Found 1 leak at my UICP coupling, fixed. But still leaking really bad at the Intake manifold, so thought it was Throttle body, nope. Got under the car and looked at the back of the intake manifold and saw 2 hoses disconnected,WTF. Look a little closer and saw a solenoid similar to the boost unit with the nipples torn off !! Unplugged the hose that it was connected to and Plugged all 3 hoses and Vola boost leaks taken care off for the most part.. But i can still here air in my down pipe??? I'm guessing it coming out the Ex Mani and out the pipe because of a valve still open, does this sound right??
Well any ways it's some of the ERG stuff thats broke so i disabled it via ECU heres a pic of it..

The nipples on the valve had been broke off.. So i unplugged the 3rd hose on the bottom of the valve and then Caped off all 3 hoses.

The open valve to downpipe issue sounds about right. Can you post or PM me the original version of that pic?
