does it matter if my flange covers that little hole below the exhaust outlet? what is that for? my flange is solid and has no opening for that hole. please help!

The small hole on the bottom is not to worry about. It was on my stock turbo when it came off and its fine. i cant help but notice, that kinda looks like an eBay turbo. please tell me its not? thats a little sketch if it is. :coy:

You don't need two threads on the same topic.

It's a wastegate hole on your Chinese turbo, meant for a swing valve on the downpipe adapter. You are not using an internal wastegate.

Well worry no more....

.....until 500 miles from now when the turbo takes a shit.

Yeah, I made a rookie mistake and bought a eBay turbo thinking its a great deal and ended up blowing it and rebuilding the old 16g. Stick with the Mitsubishi turbos.

Could of sworn all turbos are made in almost the same factory. China, Taiwan, Japan, India

Yep, you're right....only one company in China makes every single turbo in the world.
