I'll posted this in my thread and yours to be sure you see it.

On the driver's side, I used a section of pipe from the gredy kit. If you saved your old piping, you'll have a "y" pipe that was used if you didn't have an intercooler. I cut a short section off of it right after the bend. It was the section of pipe that would have gone to the MAF in a regular greddy kit (non intercooler.) I would say that it is about a 45* bend.

Also does the gauge go on the other side of the regulator? If so why didn't you put it on?

what do you need a pic of? the piece with the 2 stainless braided lines going into it is a 2-port vaccum manifold I made that is hooked up to my wastegates. I like running braided stainless lines to the wastegates so that there is no issue of melting a vaccum line. Since the wastegate lines are so critical, I decided to convert the wastegates to -4AN fittings and make this mini manifold to feed them!!!
also, the gauge would normally go right onto the the front of the regulator, but I have a fuel pressure sensor sending unit screwed into the front 1/8" NPT port, instead of the supplied mini mechanical gauge.

I ended up with a a fuel leak too where I attached the fitting to the hard pipe........the leak happend after I installed the greddy. I must have move the fitting around and loosened the conection.
I thought I needed a new fitting, and paid to have charles overnight a new fitting to me, but..................
in the mean time, I decided to give it one more try.......
YOU need to really crank on it!!!! and I mean with all your strength!!! I was able t get maybe another half turn on it past where I thought I couldn't tighten it any more..BINGO!!! no more leaks. I guess it takes alot of pressure to squich that ferrule down onto the hard pipe!
Make sure you find thelongest wrenches you can, it'll give you more mechanical advantage so you can get more torque on the fitting.

I am not sure on the length of each IC...inlcuding the endtanks. They could be longer to fill out the holes in the bumper better, but then you'd run into some fitment issues. As it is, I can use the stock washer fluid tank!
