So, I think you'd be wasting your money to port the head considering that you appear to be already set on the stock turbo.

Unfortunately I agree with EVO8LTW. The unfortunate part is beacuse I spent a significant amount of money on the headwork.

I have a ported head by a very reputable shop (read $$) and although I did gain some on top the loss in midrange & spool was noticeable. No fault of the people that did the porting - they did a great job.

IMO the stock Evo head is perfect for a stock turbo. With a larger turbo & race gas is probably where you're going to see the benefits of a ported head.
