i have a aftermarket 60mm non wastegated ceramic ball bearing turbo i see 40 psi of boost and am around 460hp. do i have to weld all that together and then bolt it to the exhaust and turbo?

Total cost in Dec, 2004 was $388.00 for fittings, regulator, hoses and W.G.
'Wasted' exhaust was ducted into down pipe... keeping excessive heat away from turbo.
Bottom pic is Wilkerson R08-02-F000 regulator setup.
Worked great...allowing me to take a non wastegated 425hp turbo up to 500 hp. without over spooling.
