You usually won't see the gasket if it blows out. Sounds like the gasket to me, i've blown 3 now and they all do the same thing.

i put my hand next to all the gaskets. the elbow gasket from the compressor is bad. so that would explain the noise correct? that would also create a sort of boost leak right? or turbo lag?.

^Yup, good luck with it. It won't spool for shit with that leak. that's really the most important one. If you replace it and don't want to use the locking plates, conical top lock nuts work great because they can take the heat without backing off and those plates get a little annoying to get back on/off.
