it really depends on how bad your boost leak is. quike test would be water and soap on places where pressurized air lines from the turbo would connect. start your car and watch for bubbles.

Yes, boost leaks will make a big difference in power... most definitely on a pre-turbo air metering system.

Just think about how the boost works...You're letting post-metered positive manifold pressure escape
Your car will only have much in the way of idling problems if there's a noticeable hole in a pipe or if it's popped off.
For vacuum leaks, sure.
Most boost leaks are from expansion areas.. meaning you'll need pressure in the pipes to find.
