I know there's a possibility of a boost leak as I slapped together a tube to the intercooler as the cx racing piping wasn't even close lol
No because I disabled underboost. You would be surprised at how many cars out there are 1 to 3 psi low at 6000 rpm due to an old boost solenoid. It's $125 to $150 depending on where you get it. It's an easy DIY replacement. two 10mm nuts, harness connector and two vacuum hoses. It should be a common replacement just like coils. If you have 50k mile or 80k km and it hasn't been changed, change it.
