wanna port my 14b

i was reading on the vfaq site about porting the turbo for better spool up and im curious if porting the turbo inlet is all that i should do? Of course i would port the mani to match but other than that is there anything else?

I would also port the wastegate area while you are at it.

Ok, if i did that what difference would it make and what would it do?

make sure you can hang with a little down time. Porting a used housing takes time. I have no patiance

Make less of a chance of having boost creep.

ah yes, this brings me to another question. Im going to be getting a 2.5 SS o2 elimator exhaust system. My question: Isn't the o2 eliminator the replacement o2 housing and if it is then what is different about it or what makes it flow better.

You might also want to port out the turbo outlet to match the new O2 housing. Just don't port near the turbine wheel.
