His downpipe was not on the turbo. But make sure all your intercooler piping os connected. And the hose from the wg is going to the turbo housing.

Connect that line to the turbo housing. That is causing a problem, or will cause a future issue if your at the intake. If you can't t off the turbo housing try doing it the closest to the housing on your piping.

Well you can buy a 1/8npt tap to put a fitting on th housing or have a tube welded to the closest pipe to the turbo. But the way your doing it I think it keeps your wg from working properly. Make sure your wg doesn't have any ports plugged off
