I have been wondering about this my self. Porting is a good way to reduce turbo lag, and improve flow. On my Classic900T manifolds I noticed that there is a chunk of metal just inside where the turbo meets the manifold. I have been meaning to port it out and file away that restrictive spot in the casting to see if it improves flow and reduces lag.
Then again, I have been thinking, What if the casting is shaped that way for a reason? Very rarely do automotive engineers design a manifold casting that will decrease performance. It might be shaped that way to Improve turbo effiency.
Any other thoughts?
