Initial porting
This is the initial porting to the wastegate passages. Notice the faint outline of the holes on each passage - you can safely port up to there. For more aggressive porting, you can port larger! Due to the flapper design, there is no way the flapper can get jammed inside the two holes.

That's probably about as specific as I've seen in regard to how big you can go, unfortunately... Basically, as big as the door is that covers the hole you can safely port...
