Right now the path of least resistance is still just going through turbine.
Think about a highway, would you rather have to stop and turn 90° or take a nice offramp?

Also think about how you would force air to open the flapper. You want it to slip downward so it hits the wall of the wastegate and forces it open
Here is a shitty pic on a different turbo but as you can see the air in the before pic doesn't even want to go into the wastegate. So by dipping a valley and making the air ram into that wall it is able to create enough pressure to open the flap.

You DON'T want the exhaust pushing the flapper open. You never want the flapper blown open. It happens on other cars, and it sucks, because then you will have the opposite of boost creep, which also sucks.
It's about flow, not pressure. You want it to flow well to the port and through the port. OPening/closing is done by actuator only unless your actuator sucks

Yes. Frankly, anything below the target boost by enough margin to allow no creep under any circumstances should be sufficient. Account for the fact that cold weather conditions produce much denser air and more chance for creep.

I swear I think you just post the opposite of everything. I know, I know, probably just another mis-post, but I feel I must correct you:

if you port the diameter of the wastegate hole, you could possibly run into this very situation where you can never raise boost with your current wastgate actuator, because the forces on the flapper is greater than the preload on the spring and it stays open when you want it closed to build more boost.

I vehemently disagree with the majority of you here.
Port diameter is about ten times as important as blending on this turbo, no material or room to "blend" anything. You'll never ever blow the wastegate on this turbo open, it's not happening. You should be able to make much less than 6 pounds at redline. A 1.6 can't be that different, I make less than 2 psi with the gate wired open. A 1.6 can't flow that much less than 1.8, nope.
Also, new same turbo that looks different.

Im gonna disagree with you. Pressure trying to go around a 90 degree corner is always harder than pressure going around a 45 degree one and who drives a 1.6 anymore? I though we all just used them as garage art or made coffee tables out of them

I read the early pages about size, pressure and flow. I focused on smoothing and radiusing and didn't increase the diameter but I wussed out on the channel since Lars blew that hole in his housing, going a little too far.
What about the back side? I guess we don't want to make it easy for air to slip back out. I left mine alone except for smoothing out a few nicks I made by mistake.
There is still room for more on mine without increasing the diameter.
