It's like putting a bra on the front of a car with a lot of rock chips. You can't see them now and the car looks nicer (arguably) but the chips are still there. The test pipes and down pipes are not creating this problem. Your turbo seals are not failing all of a sudden. But removing the restrictors from the exhaust is now allowing the problem to reveal itself.
