Would this cause a boost leak?

Hey guys, I noticed the bolt That goes into the tb to the intake mani has a crack on the end where it's in the mani, just wondering if it leaks air through there, it's a pretty big crack and idk how that happened.

The bolt has a crack in it?

The Ed of the bolt that's inside the mani is cracke on te end, pics will be taken, it's just bothering me to think I maybe overlooked this the whole time

You can do a boost leak test. Otherwise if you have a boost gauge, check where the vacuum sits. Perhaps go WOT and see if there are any hiccups through the rpm band. If there is, that could possibly suggest there is a leak. Or just wait a bit till someone posts the answer.

wait, so the BOLT is cracked? or is the manifold cracked where the bolt is threaded in?

 

[Brunoboy]

Manifold is cracked not the bolt

 

+1 boost leak test
