the car runs fine and boosts great.and the oil is 400ks old ,i belive it had a service at the same time.

could be the thingy that spins (i forget the terms) in the turbo hitting the housing maybe ?

Im just sorta guessing cause im bored, but maybe take off the intake pipe and see if you can move the 'thingy that spins' around.. I dont think its supposed to move around at all.

Also I had a wierd metal noise once.... When I had my new exhaust put on they didnt hookup the turbo heatshield 100% so it was flapping around abit against other crap.

      HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
