If you're for sure going to open exhaust, now is the time to think of addressing the wastegate or diffuser "put back". Go read that thread where the folks are addressing overboost.
I was following that thread closely as I remember that Jarek told me that the stage 2 tune and hard driving could cause overboost issues because the waste gates were not able to get rid of the pressure fast enough.
I just talked to Jarek again 2 days ago addressing this issue and he said it is definitely a good idea to port it while I'm at it. Here's a closer look at the low pressure turbo and wastegate:
