This is probably a dumb question judging by the amount of soot all over in there, but to those holes that the bolts to to make it all the way into the turbine housing? if so that would mean it would be bellowing exhaust outta there all the time correct? Now with 2 of them bolts missing, I'm almost thinking that that might help out with my low boost issue. or am I outta my mind?

It could be a boost issue for sure.

Get the right bolts and do it right...

it is releasing all your drive pressure that is needed to spin the turbo. I would pull the turbo to work on it and inspect it at the same time. But I'm anal retentive....
