Works like a champ for less than $5 in parts (I already had the tap).

I did a boost leak test and found out
my helix silicon that's holding the lower IC Pipe had a few cracks in it.
(it's amazing that silicon was NEW !!)
I replaced the silicon today along with a thin layer of RTV on the Gasket to the Turbo outlet
Guess what ! the loud whistle BOOST leak noise is gone !!! Now I can enjoy the cool spooling sound of the white rabbit which is a lot louder than stock turbo !
wow ! can't imagine how loud a boost leak can be.. until it happen to me
tks everyone's help !!!

BTW, using that 45 degree elbow at the turbo inlet is a good idea! I currently have a straight on there and I have to push my lower radiator hose out of the way in order to fit my air line on there.
