After reading that post I tried to grind that opening up a little myself (since my turbo re-builder wasn't interested).  After nearly 90 min of continuous grinding with a large dremmel wheel I gave up.  I made no change in the size of the opening. 
 
Truly, a large manually operated waste gate is the best.
 
OK, OK, I was going to have one but all this talk of beers...
    I used an air die grinder to do the job and it went easy. I also drilled through the center scroll as well during my rebuild as per the ATS guys. It also was an easy mod to do and I feel it has made a difference as I show absolutely no signs of boost creep now.
