Sounds like you bought an SR20 turbo?

Does it have a 5 bolt dump pipe or 6 bolt dump pipe?

Also what you referred to as the compressor inlet is actually the compressor outlet. It has 3 bolts and that's where the air comes out. The part where you can see the compressor blades is the inlet

It appears to be an RB20s turbocharger , the compressor wheel and housing is smaller than an RB25s ones and the turbine housing will be slightly smaller internally. The real give away is the "Nissan" etc cast into the 25s comp housing . Its in bolder lettering and also 25 turbochargers have an anti reversion groove machined into the compressor housings inlet boss .

The last thing as you found is that the adapter that bolts to the comp housings outlet is larger on the common RB25/VG30 comp housing casting . The threaded holes are also on a slightly larger pitch circle diameter than the RB20 type compressor housing .

You need to change it for an RB25 one .

For some reason I thought some VG30 turbos came with "16V 12" on the comp cover, could be wrong - long time since I worried about these units. Compare the turbine housings on the R33 turbo and the 16V turbo...

Single Z32 ceramic BB turbos used the same compressor housing as most RB25 ones though they were profile machined for a slightly smaller compressor wheel . They won't go over a std 25 compressor and I know because I have both and tried it . The housings side by side are dimensionally the same .

      Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS

      Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.

      Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.

      Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.

      There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
