Exactly. And why pay $175 for it? All that's required is to grind down one small area on the wastegate. You don't even have to touch the flapper mating area so there's nothing to be too scared of.

EDIT: If the $175 includes removal and install I can see it being a little better but $175 for a minor port seems a bit much.
