Where to get a larger wastegate flap?
When I go to port my wastegate, I've been told I should port it bigger than the stock flapper, and just weld a larger flapper on. Will I really need to port it this large, and if so...where can I get a larger flap? Thanks for any info!

I had a local weld shop put the washer on. The welder filled in the center of the washer as he welded it to the face of the stock flapper and then he ground the face down smooth.

An exhaust valve from a piston car... you just crop the top of the valve off and use the face.

Granted, the honda and a lot of cars don't contain sodium filled valves, some do. If you know your chem you will know what sodium will do. Always research before u do things. My friend almost blew off his hand when a valve stem blew up!
In some exhaust valves, sodium is used as an agent for cooling the valves. Sodium-filled poppet valves are provided with a chamber that is formed by the hollow stem that extends well up into the valve head. At operating temperatures, the sodium becomes a liquid and splashes up and down inside the hollow valve stem. The sodium is an effective agent that serves to transfer the heat from the hot exhaust valve head through the stem and valve guides and to the engine cooling system.
