How big to port wastegate!!!
I have a 10th ANN turbo with a high flow intake, upgraded TID, Full straight pipe exhaust (no emmisions), and all emissions equipment removed.
I boost creep like crazy, so now im going to port the wastegate. If i port it out as far as i can go while utilizing the stock wastegate flapper, will i be able to run boost safely?? I dont want to have to worry about detonation, i haven't even taken my car to WOT since the mods because ive been afraid.
So will i be able to run stock boost levels if i port that far?

Keep Right Except to Pass
I don't think so. Even if you've got a 2.5" exhaust.
While you've got it all apart just max it out and get a machine shop to weld up a new flap. Surely worth the few extra bux.
Or just find an S5 setup to swap, but that's a couple/few hundred. You get a much improved hot side this way though.
btw, that's smart keeping your foot out of it until you can control boost better.
