Im stupid, i have completely forgotten how to run a single turbo just off the wastegate spring :(

Now is it the side port, closest to the manifold, that run's straight to the compresser housing?? Or the one at the top/bottom, furthest away from the manifold??

It's the side port that goes to the compressor housing.

If it's wrong you can blame yourself, as you told me this :D

My HKS 60mm is feed on the side with the port closest to the turbo.

It will be the port closest to the inlet of the wastegate.
There's a diaphragm attached to the piston, and you want the pressure to push against the diaphragm and open the wastegate piston.
Attaching it to the port furthest away would push on the back of the diaphragm and hold the piston closed.
