reaming the wastegate

I would suggest loosening the nut that goes on the top stud of the engine mount while the car is still on the ground. Then loosen all of the other bolts after the car has been lifted and the engine is securely supported. The removal and re-installation of these parts is by far the biggest headache when performing this job. Everything else is fairly smooth sailing.
I have read in a few posts that the wastegate needs to be reamed out because overboost?
