Did you have trouble finding a shop that could do it? Ive been to 2, the first a dedicated engine building shop that couldnt do it, then they sent me to another shop that they said could. He couldnt do it either, but referred me to a machinging/cnc shop that he said could, but he said I would need to take the turbo apart (seperate the hot side from the intake side) so that they could mount it to their cnc.

This how it really is, or what? I figured I could just take it to a shop that specializes in car motors, and get it done, but I guess not....

Buy a die grinder and spend about 2 hours on it. Cost will be around $30 including die grinder and bits. Remove the flapper from the arm, use a clean rag to wipe the surface around the flapper, scribe your boundary mark around the flapper onto the housing, and go at it. Don't go all the way to the mark, leave about 0.5mm around it for sealing.

Yes, I do **** the old school way. Machinists are cool and all, but half the time they either dont want to fool with what you're doing, or they don't follow instructions.
