Would it be okay to use a smoke machine then pressure test it?

So yesterday I put the egr delete kit on because I had a minor oil and boost leak from the coupler on the asv oil leak sorted however I still hear a turbo dumping sound and loud sucking sound from inside the car at first I thought it was that leaking coupler (oh how wrong I was EGR had been mapped out anyway so wanted to blank it properly) I do have an FMIC but I can't see any leaks or any oil around the joints what else could cause this? It definitely feels like a boost leak its down on power sooting bad and still sounds like a boost leak thoughts and opinions folks?

So i've found out some new information, the clutch currently in my car is apparently a VR6 clutch, theres no evidence to support this however, i'm perhaps wondering if i should pair the vr6 clutch with a vr6 master cylinder as well then? -

I would have thought so as well however the clutch was done quite some time ago now its had a new master cylinder passed the slave cylinder test the only thing left that I haven't done is a full fluid change from what I can tell its either never been done or a seal has perished and turned into this murky black fluid -

So bleeding it with pressure didn't work I reckon it's gonna be a pressure plate problem so, valeo luk or sachs what do you guys recommend for 320ftlb of torque or more? -

After some digging in the cars paperwork the master cylinder was replaced in december just gone so i'm very skeptical about that fixing the issue suggested above is a potential airlock so instead of replacing the cylinder I shall bleed it through again with an eezibleed kit and see if that does it any further advice on this is appreciated! -

Just to add some extra info tried the slave cylinder method to see if its that that had gone and the result came back negative have actually found a perished seal on the master cylinder so hoping this solves the issue otherwise the whole hydraulic clutch system will be replaced, if that fails a new DMF and Clutch will be put in as well expensive stuff especially the uprated clutch -

Have tried bleeding through small amounts of air but no difference -

Again confusing right? It has an uprsted LUK clutch to help counter the 210hp but thats all I can think of, unless its the uprated clutch causing the issue described? I literally purchased the car on Tuesday not much detail was given prior to that it was in Wales around 300 miles from me however the problem apparently started happening to the previous owner after MOT which led me to believe it was a seal somewhere but all lines are dry -

This is exactly what has me confused as well, fluid levels have not dropped but pressure is being lost over time, I lose pressure even faster if I boot it
