I’ll bet not. I don’t know how it would detect the exhaust leak, and my Eclipse had a boost leak that the ECU didn’t warn me about.
Best thing to do whenever you mess around with either is test. For the exhaust you can feel around the exhaust system with the engine running (don’t actually touch the pipes) and see if you can feel any pressure escaping. It’s pretty obvious when there is a leak. And for the intake you can make a very simple tester with some type of hose to fit over the compressor inlet, clamp on an end cap with and a tire valve in it. You fill the system up with air and if there are any leaks you can hear it plain as day.
