Is this ported enough? Need opinions please

[TurboDreamzGST]

Ok so long story short, i had to remove my recently installed ebay EvoIII 16g to port out my wastegate opening where the flapper covers....I just want some opinions if you guys think this is ported enough before I go through the whole process of re-installing it. Id rather know now if it needs to be ported more so I can just do that before its already re-installed. Thanks guys!

Looks good enough to me....much better than the tiny hole you started with. You'll be amazed at the difference in boost control if the actuator is properly adjusted!

Porting the inlet of the turbine housing is also a good idea to help control boost.

The turbine housings on knockoff 16G's are cast from an already-ported mold, so there's little porting that can be done to gain flow. However, to go along with what Pat's saying, you can port the inlet Forced Performance-style where you direct the airflow toward the wastegate hole to prevent excessive boost creep. You'll be making the inlet shaped like a "D" just until you reach the wastegate hole.

It's a little hard to tell in the pic, but this is what I'm talking about:

^^^ That's exactly what I did to my small 16g. It was able to hold 7psi until about 5k where it then crept to 10psi by 7k. But who gets a 16g to run 10psi?

I turned up the MBC and it holds 17psi rock solid with the stock actuator.
