How much is boost affected?

I was messing with my TV adjustment today. When I removed the intake manifold I noticed the gasket that is between the manifold and the grid heaters was missing a side.
Think this affected my boost?

If there´s gasket on three sides, and not on the fourth, that would be a leak, and it will affect boost, but how much?????
I have no idea, that gasket is very thin, isn´t it, that makes it a small leak, but it is a leak anyway, and the more boost, the more leak you got.

But why did you remove the intake manifold to mess with the tv- adjustment???

Maybe it`s just my skinny arms, but I didn`t remove anything, or maybe I messed the wrong thing, now that i think of it, it didn`t really help alot...

Air leaks easier than liquid, very little friction.
Just a small leak can lose a lot of pressure.
