Exhaust leaks and power drops

[blue95 0]

Just wondered if anyone knew what kind of power drop you'd expect if you had a leaking exhaust? with a 20vt engine running 270bhp?

 

Reason being I have 2 leaks :( one from the back of the turbo to downpipe flange, and the other between the slip joint before the back box. Its very annoying but the exhaust is still under warranty so its not my problem to fix it.

 

Cheers

I wouldn't think on a turbo car you would lose much, I might expect boost spikes though if the leaks are bad and/or in the wrong place.
