i was checking for boost leaks in my car and one of the biggest ones is in the intake manifold, right where the IMRC lever sits, if i move the lever ill get more or less air depending if i push or pull the lever.

Although it seems bad i dont know if it is, thats why im here, i can feel some air coming out of there, is it negible or do i need to change the manifold? any rules i should apply for boost leaks?

fix it. a boost leak in the IM will also be a vacuum leak. your turbo will flow enough air that it probably wont affect it much but a vacuum leak will.
