wastgate porting question (taking apart the turbo, who did and who didn't)
I'm about to port my wastegate, but I want to know how many people here took apart there turbo and how many didn't and just clean the turbo with an air compressor after they were done porting. I know is recommend to take it apart but I just don't want to strip and break any of the screws.
thanks
thanks

It shouldn't be real hard to pull the exhaust housing off, but I think I ended up finishing the job with the turbo assembled anyway. I rinsed it with water as best I could then blew it out well with a compressor. It's running really well right now, 95k miles and about 5k miles after porting it.

The bolts shoultn't wanna strip if you use a good 10mm closed end wrench. Mine came out fairly easy, but my exhaust housing is stuck i guess i need to hit it harder

I'll throw out the idea of using an s5 turbo. You can combine your coldside s4 to a hotside s5 and then port that wastegate. Find a blown s5 turbo and use the parts for you s4. If you plan on uping the boost the s5 turbo manifold is a better design and you don't have to deal with the twinscrool. You will also need an s5 turbo manifold. This mod is cheap!!!~
