I've only owned my gsx for about a month now and today I noticed that 2 exhaust manifold studs are broken off, they're right next to each other and there is a nice carbon buildup surrounding the holes and manifold as well. I read on here that the stock boost setting is around 14psi ? Would those bolts be the reason my car only gets 10psi and i can smell the exhaust fumes from inside the car when i'm at wot ?
possible boost leak ?

thats an exhaust leak, not a boost leak. boost leak is when you have a leak before the air enters the head.
the problem you have is that the exhaust goes into the atmosphere before it actually gets to the turbocharger. fix the studs.

I don't know how much they are at the dealer but if they are a lot you might as well get something like this:
