BIG Turbo build planned - turbo guys!

Why bother much with the porting, etc.? That is what the turbo is for. Just the larger valves are of value, IMO.

Out of curiosity, why would you hold one important and not the other? Personally, I would do both the porting and the large valves, because in my mind, least resistance is better most always. i would just think it to be less work for the turbo to have to do, letting you make more power per psi of boost. Keep in mind, that is just my opinion.
