you need to test test the system for leaks. the easiest way is to make (or get someone to make) a short bit of pipe the same size as the turbo inlet with a capped end and a fitting so you can hook it up to an air compressor,pump it full of compressed air and the leaks will be obvious. i do it all the time to test for leaks and it works a treat.
