Ported wastegate work help needed

I need to know what the going cost is to get my stock twins ported. I am goign to start running 15 PSI on them and need them to be ported. Wanting to take locally to a rx7 shop but want some background info before I head on in. So if you guys know of any good shops in so cal and regular prices that would be awesome

Its probably worth $300-$500US. I did it myself(except for the machining) and it was pretty easy. Remember to factor in the costs for gaskets too...

if you are running 15 psi you probably dont need the wastegate ported. porting it is for keeping the boost low with a full exhaust and intake.

Is that 300-500 US for remove and reinstall? How about a cost if someone removed and reinstalled the turbos themselves?

For me I did it all myself, so it was free. I dont know how much the machining would be... but it is very simply machining... maybe 1/2 hrs worth of work max.
