wastegate porting question
hey guys, i'm knee deep in my s5 turbo rebuild and have a quick question.
i've ported the intake and exhaust, just a street port nothing huge. do i need to
port the wastegate to compensate? or is that only an s4 turbo thing to do?
i looked on aaroncake's page about porting it (very helpful by the way, thanks man!) but the s5 turbo looks like it already has double the wastegate as the s4.
Any suggestions are very helpful.
thanks.

Port the WG, and grind a relief in the backing plate to allow the door to open more, I did this, and I was unable to boost past 7psi, add a boost controller and you can have it will be rock steady to whatever you set it to.

Why not port? Also exhaust flow is another consideration. There is a sharp angle the exhaust gases must go around after the holes in the wastegate and this angle can be shaved to help exhaust flow.
I have a stock s4 with an s5 turbo ported (by bluetII) ,RB 2.5 exhaust, custom tid and i still can boost creep in 4 th gear. Granted i live by the beach/sea level and cool weather.

Top Down, Boost Up

The S5 turbo has one opening that is smaller than the other. This one can be opened up around 5mm wider, while you can only do about 2-3 mm on the larger passage. Smooth it out all the way down and take a little off the backing plate as mentioned. I ported out my S5 turbo like this, and ended up with the equivalent area of a 35mm single wastegate. I don't have any boost creep problems either.

ok i grinded the side down a bit to be able to open the flap, then i just started grinding away at the port holes to where the seat would still seat. it opened up quite a bit. here are some pics along the way too.
