Porting Manifold Question

[sniperelite]

So I got a new 16G to replace my old one with blown seals and the inlet on this thing is ported to all hell.

My Exhaust Manifold I am using is stock and not ported and I was wondering if it would be worth taking it in somewhere to have it ported to match or would it not be worth the time and money?

Any opinions?

It would be good to match it but it's not needed. You are going from a small outlet to a large inlet and not vice versa.

I would just get a carbide bit and die grinder and go to town just watch for the gasket flange. I ported my 2g exhaust manifold on my 1g when i found a crack 8" long.

Yea, porting an exh mani is not that hard. Well worth it.

just hog it all out? is there a how to someplace?

I have none of the tools required so I would be looking at somewhere between $100-150 just to port it myself. The consensus I have been getting from many people is that because it is going from smaller diameter to larger it will not be a substantial gain as long as the turbo is already ported. I think I will leave it as is..
