the HKS 2530 turbos i believe have internal wastegates. internals aregood for smaller turbos, external wastegates are better for high-powered bigger turbos, an external wastegate allows for more exhaust gases to be vented (ideal for big boost applications). I've heard that a high mounted turbo is best, something about the oil doesn't gather within the turbo or something. A high mount gives you a little bit more room for a bigger turbo for example.

go high mount. An external wastegate has a bigger valve which would vent alot more unwanted exhaust gases compared to usually a rather small internal wastegate, when you deal with more boost and power youre going to need an external.

I would always got for low/rear mount in lieu of high/front mount as it puts the turbo in a better weight distribution position. Lower and rearward is definitely an advantage to the handling and braking performance. Plus it doesn't scream DEFECT, like a big shiny front mount in your face.;)

yeah but with an external waste gate how do you control the boost levels? do you set the springs for max psi (16-18psi) and then the bov controls the rest?

BOV does not control boost.

External waste gate has less creep because of above mentioned reasons.

Top mount is easier to get at.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things

      I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt
