Default Cracked Manifold?

not to sure so figured I would ask. I am about to get a HTT turbo along with a new ATS exhaust manifold. I am not to sure, but if my current stock manifold is cracked, would that make me loose boost on take off? Last night I took off from a red light just messing around, and it builds boost fine, but then feels like I loose it all, then it comes back, and then feels like it looses it all again. Not sure, but could that be my cracked manifold?

In March, I will be adding my HTT turbo along with the ATS exhaust manifold for my senior project.

The highest I have seen is 28...but I hardly ever see that. Most of the time around 23 or 24 is the highest!
