I am almost sure my turbo works the same way as your T5R. It opens a bypass valve to the non pressured side of the compressor. I found a good video that explains the pros and cons with having a BOV vs a BPV. I will start with the built in BPV and find out if it works as expected even if it cannot be adjusted. Adding a BOV later would be an easy thing if necessary. And for sure the BPV should be connected to plenum.
I have more things to do with the turbo. It has a built in waste gate as well and the rather big actuator is hitting the rear wall. I need a smaller actuator with a straight rod and need to adjust the angle on the compressor side to make it fit. That will make it easier to have the water IC (barrel type) fitted as well.
