Exclamation NORCAL: Help with Wastegate Ticking

My wastegates started to rattle recently

Is anyone familiar with Mr.5's wastegate fix (sans software update) and has done it to their own car?

I'm located in the Sac area but also go down to the Bay semifrequently.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

TIA!

My car sounds similar to this:

Also check out Mr.5's original thread about his wastegates. Mine is not as pronounced as the sound in his videos... but that's probably because my exhaust is so damn loud. It's pretty noticable on my car when accelerating though... light and aggressive launches.
