Would porting our turbos be worth it?
I was reading an article and it doesn't sound like a bad idea. Wouldn't it be similar to a K04(minus the larger shaft)? Has anyone tried this or know if it would give any substantial hp gains or at least reduce spool up? Thanks

Nothing wrong with going fast for cheap... BTW it will work.
Most people call it "hard rolling" the turbos. However, you're still stuck with a crappy design and a really crappy impeller.
