from what I remember when I changed mine, 3 bolt to the turbo exhaust flange, the other bolts to a bracket that is bolted to the engine, presumably to hold the turbo securely in position.

ARR, that may explain it, as when looking at up pipe it looks like only three are used. I have had the up pipe ported and looks like something has been cut off.
But because i've never changed the up pipe not sure what to expect.
