I was talking about opening the exhaust earlier increasing overlap, not rounding the edges.
Also, I just realized that I have Turbo housings. In fact, I think I might have gotten new housings with my rebuild. The recipt for the rebuild doesn't have a detailed list (it just says Parts and Lubricants) but the price looks like it includes new housings. Maybe I will just use them after all.

opening to exhaust earlier wont increase overlap but will cause you to lose lowend torque for higher rpm performance gains.

I went back out and looked at my exhaust ports again, and I don't think they have been ported. I attatched some pics if you are interested.

Ok, I wasn't sure. It looked like some had been taken off the bottom of the port, but I couldn't tell for sure. Hopefully I can re-use the housings. That'll save me at least a grand after porting is figured in. Is there anything you can do with the housings like take some super-fine grit sandpaper and smooth it down. Seems like I read that somewhere, but I'm not sure.
