You can make the exhaust entry to the turbo the same diameter as the uppipe diameter and let it taper smoothly into the turbo exhaust.
Porting the wastegate is to prevent boost creep which can be a problem with the TD05-06 20G. It is a matter of opening the wastegate port while maintaining a seal with the penny valve and smoothing out the housing around so you get the best possible gas flow.

Porting the wastegate on a TD05-16G will only give you problems trying to maintain boost at a decent level. Not required unless your target boost is less than 0.8 bar.

Porting is quite easy. Once you have the turbo and uppipe in front of you it will become quite apparant. Measure the int uppipe dia and port the turbo until it matches. I ported it all the way through from the uppipe opening to the wastegate opening.
