    its the stock internal wastegate, in order to get a full turbo back exhaust on my car (2005 STi) i need to get it ported to avoid boost creep because the valve doesnt open enough to allow proper flow with a free flowing exhaust. without porting boost levels will be uncontrollable (even with a boost controller) and fuel cut off will occur at higher RPMs.

    but it still the stock Subaru turbo?? i dont think you need to oversize the waste port if you only change the exhaust line. normally the wastegate port is big enough to evacuated the bypassed exhaust gas with no exhaust at all (assuming that the boost level remain the same as before)

    yea its the stock turbo. thats the thing with the full TBE you are replacing 2 cats with either hi flow cats or no cats. the turbo spool up is much greater and the stock valve on the wastegate cant accomodate for this increased pressure. Normally the wastegate on the stock turbo doesnt fully open because there is no room to it was designed to open only partially. By porting the inside bend of the wastegate you allow the valve to open fully.

    yea ive seen the procedure it isnt that hard at all you can even use a dremmel tool. But to get the turbo out you need to pull the motor which i cant do. Im sure a machine shop could do it i just wanted to find someone with experience in the matter
    Hey blownSC i might take you up on you offer if i cant get it done here im prob gonna be in toronto this summer some time......
