Exhaust leak?

if you dont know i got in a little fender bender awhile back cars still not fix but the other day i noticed what sounded to be and exhaust leak or a turbo leak. when you boost about 5 psi you hear what sounds exhaust like but also the turbo sounds different then what it use to be. do you think its just the intake pipe to the turbo came off in the crash? just a bit worried it might be more than that. has this been a know problem for the TC's like turbo manifolds cracking?

i get what sounds like a leak when it really cold. Once the car is warm it stops. Mine may not even be a leak. try putting it in neutral and giving it some gas. You or someone else look, listen or feel for leaks.

yeah check all of your connections and piping. Check charge piping, intake and exhaust connections if possible.
