Wholy snit, brazing would melt off very quickly. Hmmmm...... The correct metal for the high heat would be #1, then the welding technique, tig or mig prolly..
If you have access to it, tig is nice, you have to know how to use it though. Mig is rather easy, PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT though..

Take it to a turbo shop. They'll replace the flap with a bigger one.

you need to port way past the flapper door to achieve anythign good with the stock flapper door.. it is ok to port past the flapper door.. port till you can wiggle your thumb around in it.. then set your boost to what u wanna run and forget about it..
