wierd boost question
 
so i did my head gasket and put gauges in. before i did my head gasket i would blow lots of smoke and my turbo would bark often when i let off. now my turo spools right up and i blow a lot less smoke and it never barks. my thoughts are i had a boost leak somewhere and wasnt pushin full boost so it smoked. but if i wasnt pushin as much boost then why would it have barked then and not now?
