CA Wastegate porting in San Diego?

Hi all,

Hopefully I'll be pulling the turbo this weekend and I'd like to get the wastegate ported.

Does anybody know where/how I can get that done? I don't have a carbide grinder or anything, haha.

I searched but perhaps my terms were too unfocused.

I bet I could.

But I lack the necessary tools and space.

If you can pull the turbos then you have the room to port the wastegate. Doesn't home depot have rental tools?

Here is rather easy:
