Wastegate flapper question

K, so, I have intake,exhaust,walbro, afc, mbc, and soon the Rtek7 1.5 from pocketlogger.com. I know I have to port my wastegat. Will the stock flapper be enough, or should I opt for a larger one? If I need a larger one, where can I get one, and how much would it cost? (Just got laid off, so funds are very limited).
Oh, yea, this is an S4, BTW. Thanks for any help. And, yes, I did search, but couldn't find what I was looking for. Thanks again.

Definitely go for a larger one, the stock one is just too limiting. Any decent turbo shop will be able to swap a bigger one on.

Can I just get a large washer welded on flushly like the guy in that link did? Will that be sufficient? I just called 3 shops in my area(all that I could find), and none of them will weld a new one on. Unless you're actually in Chicago, northern Illinois sucks for tune shops.
