Wastegate porting?

I really am in the need of porting my wastegate, is it possible of doing this while it is still installed on the car? Has anyone done this?

From what I am told turbo removal is pretty much nesseccary. I too need to port mine, so to any experienced people out there--any advice would be great.
Thanks

nah you have to remove the turbo...

to port the wastegate you have to get a grinder... and a grinder isn't gonna fit under there...

its not very hard to remove the turbo...

it just involves removing the intercooler which is easy, the oil and water lines, removing it from the intake parts; unbolting the downpipe and unbolting the turbo from the manifold... and thats about it
