In the IM, I know you're supposed to touch the wall before you do your turn but after going over some videos, I saw that most swimmers turned to their side to touch the wall and flip ? Then what's the difference between turning around after a little bit after the flags, touching and then flippinG? I hear THAT'S illegal?

If you reach back with one hand then bring your legs up to the wall doing a back/*** flip turn itis much faster that an open turn. If you look at M. Phelps doing his turns they are incredible. He does a very hard roll because he end up on the opposite side from where most end up. You need really strong abdoms. But if you bring your feet up, to touch the wall right at your hands, then roll onto that side,it is a lot of fun and fast enough.
