Stock tt wastegate porting

I'm in the middle of a full none sequential conversion and im about to get the wategate ported.
I took it to a mill shop and the guy showed me the measurement on the wastegate.

There is literally just enough of the 'flapper' covering the hole if i get the 1.24'' port. I didnt get it done
so i could check with some of you wise folk. any help is very appreciated. thanks

why take it to someone, break out the dremel and man up, you need to massage the inside of it too.

Ok, but do you have an answer to my question? the radius of the flapper is probably only a mm wider then the port would be. and with the play in the flapper, there would be exhaust leaking through. Just wondering if this is ok?
