Every turbo or manifold can be ported, when i got my new turbo and my new manifold, i lined them up against the manifold gasket and shaved off enough to be flush with the gasket. Also too a long thing shaver on the rotary tool and grinded more off inside the manifold. Unless your talking about porting the head, than thats a different story!

Well I dont really know enough about porting to tell you exact plans but I was thinking porting it as much as possible. I really wanted to know for a comparison to the 12v full port.

I was really talking more about the head.

I've heard opening up the head can really improve. How much I do not know for sure.
