Default Just installed new used ko3

I just finished installing a new used ko3 turbo and took it out for a drive at first it was going good then all of a sudden when i would give it some gas all i would hear is this loud woosh sound like a hose was disconected. Got home and checked all the hoses and they look fine. What else could it be. Need Help.

Default I jacked it up this morning and found the problem...

The hose from the bottom or the turbo to the intercooler was disconected. I hope that was the problem.
