will cracked exhaust manifold lose boost pressure and vac

The exhaust manifold cracks won't leak the boost, although the exhaust gas spins the turbine to generate the boost.. so if it is a gaping hole then there'll be less gas passing through the hotside spinning the turbine. But it'll be so noisy you'll need to wear ear defenders...

Stock BAM is between around 20 hg (vacuum) to around 0.9 bar / 13psi
