Porting Checklist

[mochilli]

EDIT: the answers i got are now in red: Thanks everyone

Hey i am thinking of doing some porting, but since most of you are more of an expert than i am, i thought i would ask you intelligent DSM'rs.

So the tools i need are basically a...
(1) die grinder and a double-cut carbide 1/4 shank (prob 2), and then gotta do some sanding (80 and 120 grit)? everything
(2)Will i need more then one carbide tip if im doing 02 housing, exhaust mani and turbo inlet? ill need two
(3)Also, im reading all this stuff about grinding behind the flapper, where is it located? I know where it is now
(4) im assuming i will have to take off the turbo to do the inlet? just drop the housing
(5) i want to port my 2nd gen exhaust mani, but was also thinking of getting an evo III exhahust mani BUT if i port my stock one now, will it flow as nice as the evo III ? im gonna keep stock exhaust mani as i heard it can handle up to 400 whp ported and flow nice
(6) i was told i have to wear more then just safety glasses (a full plastic face mask), this true? Def getting full face mask!
(7) i bought an xs power 02 housing off ebay: i want to port it, but don't know if it will already flows good enough, any takers?
my new 02 housing isnt cast iron, its welded, so not a good idea to port it, i would have to be very careful, but looks like it will flow good anyways
im buying the carbide tips off ebay for like $10 each i believe

Carbide burrs make nasty chips that get everywhere.
Cast iron isn't too bad but steel makes needle like chips that you do not want stuck in your skin.
Long sleeves, a close fitting collar and a hat would be things to think about. Safety glasses are manditory but a face shield is better.
