This is an example of whats wrong with this site, people giving advice on subjects they know little or nothing about. What a load of clap trap.
You mean to say that if the line is used from the actuator it may leak where there is no chance of the line leaking if it is connected to the manifold or intercooler Why not ?
If the line/pipe does leak it will not have any effect on the boost why
well simply because if it leaks there will be no boost. The diesel engine's mainfold is always at amospheric preesure or very close to it unlike the petrol engine which has varying vacuum values in it's intake manifold.
So if there is a hole in the boost gauge line the intake mainfold will always be held at atmospheric pressure, any attempt by the turbo to boost the intake pressure will fail as any increase in pressure will bleed direct to the atmosphere.
It should be remembered that boost pressure is a pressure above atmospheric, so if there is a leak there will be no boost.
Perhaps you should stay with your Group N rally cars and leave the advice giving to those who are qualified to give it
