Anyone ever try to port their 1.8T exhaust manifold themself?

I was thinking of trying it. Any input would be appreciated.

SO not worth it IMHO - the thing's flat as a pancake.

It's a POS. I have some side by side pics of my APR Stage 3 mani and the OEM noe at home.

The OME one is a joke - it's tiny to begin with, and flattened too. Horrible design.

Because...

The turbo manifold itself isn't the problem... The problem is backpressure after the manifold. In other words, porting the manifold is a waste of your time.
