There are people that have successfully plugged the leakage ports, whether they used JB Weld or had professional welding done, I don't know. Just remember that if there are complications with this modification, it could mean severe disaster...

There is an inherent risk with all methods of plugging those holes. Like suggested, contact professionals regarding your intentions and take their advice seriously.

I wonder if someone would prefab pieces to weld into the leakage port's . That way you wouldnt have to worry about them as much , just weld around the outside of the case . It's not something that i would want to do just because i'd be paranoid about uneven heating and warpage.

If you can't metal weld it, or JB weld it.... there is only one thing you can do... Press it.
You'd have to press in an aluminum filler, and shave bottom flush again.
For ease of process, it would be beneficial to bore out the holes to be round first (as opposed to the stock oblong shape).
History has shown that a proper press job will not fall out, and will not affect the structural integrity of the part.

Tell me this (for those that know):
Is there a gasket of some sort between the SC and the motor? And if so, why can't one be cut/made
that blocks off those two port areas? Unless the holes are recessed up in the housing. That would shoot
this idea down.
But what about it? A gasket mod?

The whine becomes apparent the second the bypass fully closes and the car begins using the boost, IE 1PSI. At that low of pressure, it isn't loud by any means, but you can surely hear it.
By the time I reach my full 18, the thing is screaming. First night I had it, went under an overpass with windows down WOT in 2nd and my ears were hurting.
