Default Wastegate installation direction?

Hate to start so many threads, doing so research at the moment.

I'm considering one of SSAutoChrome's T70 turbo "kit", it's the turbo, wastegate, and a BOV, i don't need the valve, but they're starting at $375 and no one bids on them. I've actually been reading that SSAC has started producing good products, and i have some first hand experience with them, i'm satisified.

Anyway, the wastegate included is the HKS 4 bolt, however, the output is the 2 bolt pattern that my manifold has, is it okay to install it backwards? I searched and didn't find anything.

well ill let everyone else speak for the quality of SSAC's work.....


but just keep in mind it is not a true HKS 4-bolt, it is an HKS-STYLE wastegate.
