wastegate port in europe?

Hi,
I have an S5 FC cabrio which power creeps from the missing precat. I'd like to widen the wastegate of the stock turbo, but I don't have the tools.

Does anyone know of a company/garage that can do it for me? Germany would be perfect, but europe would be ok...

Hi,
I'm taking the turbo out of the car this week to have a look at it and then will send you a PM.

Wastegate-port from Furb was successfull. With permanent open wastegate pressure doesn't exceed 0.4 Bar (5-6PSI). Thats a lot of improvement. Before it got as high as 0.8 Bar (11-12PSI).

Glad it worked out for you mate!
I'll remember this one, never seen such a mint condition turbine housing

If anyone else needs wastegate porting done, just send me a PM
