It's a bit hard to tell what's going on with just one pic. Not to poo-poo (I've done "junkyard" turbo setups), but the vinyl tubing and PVC is not going to last and might be more headache than welding up some parts store exhaust pipe. Where is the boost gauge line connected?

My boost gauge tube is connected to the tubing from my turbo to my intake

I was thinking about pressure testing the system and checking for leaks
