The problem trying to port:
The actuator arm on the Waste gate flapper door hits against the botoom of the housing. I dunno how you should get it off, but it can be bent or welded easily, I know

And the view when you get the flapper door all the way open:


Who do you love?
These holes can be ported to the edge of the flapper doors if required.
If you want any more pics (again performed by my shitty webcam, just post here and tell me you love me)

This is not my turbo, but instead a spare one I dissassembled in my basement.
Mine is ported and on my car. I will port this one and take webcam pics IYW.
