Looked around and didn't see an answer.

My exhaust cam is advanced 1 tooth. When in boost in third gear I hit a wall, and I am assuming this is why, since I have replaced a lot of other parts.

Is there any easy/quick way to get the timing back in line?
 
No. Take it apart and do it right. Sounds like a boost leak btw.
 
Do you have adjustable gears? If not, then yes you'll have to redo the timing. Have the crank and oil sprocket and intake cam timing marks line up. Ziptie the belt to the intake. Using the timing tool, compress the tensioner and put the pin in. Remove the belt from the exhaust cam, realign the marks and put the belt back on.
