First Port Job w/ PICS..!!!

[GsXtC21]

I recently obtained an e316g from a fellow member on here and because im upgrading i thought i would go ahead and port my stock o2 housing and exhaust manifold... I purchased a $30 die grinder + $5(for 1yr warranty ) and am VERY pleased with my results... This is my first port job and had no help other than reading on here but i mean theres not much to it....

On to the pics

I know everyone says the stock 2g o2 housing needs to be "extensively" ported, well did i port mine enough...?

Thanks for looking...

Sorry for poopy cell phone/lighting pics.

I run an external gate with 1 bar spring...my lowest boost i see is 18psi, perhaps I went a little too smooth. Luckily I've got big enough injectors to keep up.

Great job!!!!

looks great. I ported everything I could get the die grinder into.

Thanks fellas, yeah its pretty easy and fun... Nice to know i saved like $200ish from porting my o2 housing, manifold and turbo...

And honestly, for those interested in trying this for themselves, DO IT...

Bigger isn't always better. Sometimes with the bigger you go the less the amount of velocity. Not only that but you severely weaken the walls if you over do it - which tends to lead to the infamous and inevitable hair line cracks of the turbine housing.

um i got a quick quesion... what tip do you use on the die grinder?

GRIP 8-piece Double Cut Carbide Rotary Burr Set | Overstock.com

Best kit you can buy for the money, but most say the tree shaped bur works the best... Just buy that kit and you'll be golden....
