really? ur gonna rip the whole engine out over what could be a boost leak?? I would smoke test the whole intake from the air filter to intake manifold. break the test into segments, in front of and behind the turbo. but more than likely u wont find anything in front of the turbo.
U may have over boosted as well and the Engine software has gone into a default map or a limp mode of sorts. It gets u home and doesn't make damage with boost. Scan the car for fault codes. Back fires, burst pipes, or welds, sensors cracked, or vacuum lines broken open or off. Recirc valves and actuator solenoids work off vacuum, (and sometimes pressure) and if there is a check valve popped off or broken open there will be no stored vacuum to deliver to the actuators when those solenoids are activated by the ECM. No sense yankin a motor for a small issue if that's what it is.
