Benefits of porting the turbo

What are the benefits of porting the turbo? I'm guessing increased spool.. Is it better for torque numbers or higher hp?? Anyone know the cost of porting a 20g?

Yeah I've been waiting on some conclusive data on porting the stock turbo or porting the 20g. I'm about to port my exhaust manifold and want to know if it's worth getting the hotside done too...

Yeah.. I already got my exhaust manifold ported, I'm getting my turbo put in soon so I'm thinking I might as well get it ported before I drop it in. But if it's super expensive and doesn't gain much, no point

Normally see slower spool times with increased top end.

Would you consider it to be a good choice for something like a green w/ meth, or is it for more of a top end turbo like a 35r??

you seem to be doing a ton of posting... and not a lot of searching...

slower spooling with better top end i'm guessing

I think he's kind of in a hurry. His car is being built right now.

I wouldn't port one out for either to be honest. With something like a 35r you have a couple of options as far as cover size and hotside size. With the green I wouldn't really play with it, that's just me though, do what you want. I'm not a big fan of the stock turbo.
