If you look under the passenger floorboard area you will find a braided wire mesh that covers the bellows area. It's main purpose is to allow the engine to move independent of the exhaust pipe. If it has a hole in it I would also expect to see failed regens.

PS Mine was leaking in 2 places and would only smoke during a parked regen. I had no loss of boost pressure as the bellows is after the turbo and all the exhaust has already past the turbo vanes.

Added picture of the bellows pipe.

Thanks for the info. I'm guessing International is blowing smoke up my ass. I really appreciate the comeback.

If they're talking about the egr crossover having a hole innit then that could cause a loss of boost. Not a complete loss I wouldn't think. I would think you find it easy yourself as it should be fairly loud from the hole.
