well it might, or it might just not drive normal at all and sputter instead of a smooth incline in rpms. it all depends on where the boost leak is

Depends on your mods. A boost leak usually ill make the idle jump up and down. and the car sputter and want to stall out on hard stops.

That asside why did you put a pic of an Evo wing in your post? If your going to put a pic at least make it your car not a dummy pic

the easiest way to tell is, when ur driving and hit the brakes, the idle will go down then come back up to regular idle

or do it the right way and simply get a boost leak tester and actually test all the charge pipes and FMIC that way

If he can't figure out if he has a boost leak, we won't know how to do a leak test.
