The crack in the rad can be fixed at a rad. shop. they have the tools to do that kinda work, if not I have a rad. I can sell u off my parts car if you want a cheap OE replacement. Also, the boost not being right is the turbo starting to go. Replace or rebuild your turbo and you will notice a huge difference. also it will take care of the leaking in the intake tubes too. You more than likely have a front seal going bad and allowing shaft play which is effecting your boost. That is where i would start by testing for shaft play. easy and free to do with some hand tools....
