Not sure what you mean by that. It may look like it, but that cannot be the case, logically. The only pressurized path from a turbo into cylinder is compressor > charge pipe > intercooler > charge pipe > throttle body > intake manifold > cylinder.

Having new components does not mean they are hooked up correctly and not allowing boost leaks. From the photos, it did not look too difficult to access the turbo compressor entrance and hook up a contraption similar to what I made.
