Was this hose job done right? Pic. inside.

Had a hose job done at Rotary Power...my question is, whether it was done right... I was comparing in to the sticker attached on the hood of the car...seems kinda different.

First of all, the check valve leading to the pressure tank seems switched around....arrow points away from tank. Second, the hoses from the pressure tank seem switched too...meaning the hose thats supposed to go to the y-pipe area goes down to a solenoid instead and vice versa shown on the picture down below. would this affect my boost patterns?

I think the hose is in the right place, can't really tell. According to mine, the check valve is backwards.

See if you can find it on the downloadable version:

That maybe one of the problems.

I only hold 7psi on my second turbo and have narrowed it down to the y-pipe.
