Default Porting VX Manifold

Well I started to clean up my manifold before it's ready, GOt out my shiny new die grinder and began carving away with grind stones. How much should I take out, is the such thing as TOO much?
ZC engine,
looking for a t3 as soon as the 7 foot snow drifts disapear in the ------' winter storms in Canada

Hey Americans don't complain about the cold!!! snow everyday up to your hips and - 20deg Celsius temps suck *** especially when I work part time for a snow plow company!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You just need to match it to your gasket. Opening it up any more isn't necessary.

Some of us Americans can complain about the snow. In Buffalo, we get it just as bad as most places in Canada. Oh, and when it gets to -12 F, then we'll talk cold

i know on NA engines, porting the exhaust manifold runners slightly larger than the gasket/port helps scavenging as it creates a low pressure area and vacuum, but on a turbo application, it might not do much.. porting the size of the gasket should work fine..
