The turbo turbine housing.

Just wanted some feedback on this before I did it. Thanks.

Alright, I did. Thanks.
I ported my wastegate already. I am just worried if I port that, maybe I won't build boost as quick since the exhaust is getting out quicker or something. Just wanted to know exactly what it does, good and bad(if anything).

i did not actually port the runners on the turbo. Although I did go through a lot of trouble, I think I am just going to tune the stock turbo to a reliable 220 or so until I get a t04 or something bigger. I did do a mild streetport. It seems like my low end torque is a lot less than it would be stock. Also, the turbo seems as though it spools a lot slower. Like you mentioned in the post, I think this is from the exhaust ports being larger which slows down the velocity of the exh. gas thus spooling the turbo slower. I am new to the turbo scene so I hope this makes sense.

i ported mine a bit, but haven't ran her yet. hopefully it did not affect spool up too much as its only ported a little. did you notice any power gains from the mod in the higher end?

Since it's my page... *grin*
I did that as an experiement a while back.  It's hard to tell if there was any significant change in power, but it did not hurt power delivery significantly either.  It was more to optimize the exhaust flow of the turbine...
If it wasn't explicit, the twin-scroll has been removed at the same time.
