I have a 951 wastegate that seems to be in good shape. I already have it out of the car, and I would like to have it rebuilt, or even just professionally cleaned and refreshed or whatever. I was able to send the turbo out for a rebuild and return service, and am really happy with what I got back. Is there a similar type of service for wastegates ? I know there’s some dual port options at LR and Tial for purchase, but I would like to keep the car stock if possible. Plus just paid about $400 for a new cycling valve, so I’d like to keep it even if it slows the car down a little.

You could probably have a machine shop give the wastegate a valve job to make sure it's sealing well, but I'm not aware of anyone that services the diaphragm part. The closest thing I know of is the Lindsey 'clubgate' which has a rebuilt valve section (valve job) and a replacement diaphragm section. I'd think if the diaphragm part could be rebuilt with reasonable effort, Lindsey would have done that instead of replacing it. But it's hard to prove a negative, so I can't say for sure there is no one who can do it....
