How do you know boost is escaping?

honestly, it could be coming from anywhere IF it is a boost leak.

Car drives normally,car free revs normally,but when driving and boosting under load the boost goes to 5-9psi then bleeds out from somewhere its very loud.

If it's audible, it's most likely not something small like a vacuum line. Something like that won't really be audible from inside the car.

Especially since most of our cars have exhausts air filter mods etc etc.

I'd put my money on one of the gaskets (they're loud as). maybe turbo to manifold gasket, manifold gasket, front pipe gasket, dump gasket, either cat gasket etc. There are heaps of gaskets.

One of the cars I did had a gasket leak so loud that once you got onto boost, it started squeeling so crazily.

The workshop will know when they do your turbo. There are things to look out for e.g. if there's black soot above a certain part of the manifold gasket, it's an exhaust leak there.

The gaskets for pretty much all of the exhaust bits including turbo to manifold, front pipe (if you've still got stock 2 part one), cat etc will be checked and replaced if needed too.

should be right
