Porting wastegate - how much £ ?

I'm having overboost problems and may need to port my wastegate. I don't want to do this myself in case I make a ***** up! How much should this cost as a drive in and drive out solution?

It's APPROXIMATELY........

Instead of critising my reply, why not make a POSITIVE post and say how much this would cost then?

Crap!

I left my turbine wheel on and blocked everything with rags. Its a minor mod and takes about 20 mins once the turbo is off. You need to know which bit to do and how far to go though.
