I would suggest performing a boost leak test and pressurizing the piping then sparying each weld down with a bottle of soapy water and check for bubbles. If you find bubbles leaking from the welds that means there are leaks and they should be addressed.

Thanks for the tip Don but that has already been taken care of. Each pipe was pressure tested for 25psi before even going on the car. Some pipes did leak and they have already been fixed. Any other helpful advice you can offer would be appreciated to assure everything goes good.
