    What exactly do you do?
    I plan on porting out my sti manifold sometime next week and would like a refresher of what you do.

    Is there a certain diameter you need to measure to?

    Match the gaskets, put the gaskets on the tgvs and scribe a line around the extra material, then do the same on the manifold.

    Be careful gasket matching the bottom of the tgvs to the head.

    Unless you are going to port the heads to match the gasket too you may end up with a small lip where the two meet.

    Was thinking that there was not much benefit with the intake manifold on our cars...but then again, every little bit helps :)

    Thanks man, I can't reply to Pm's from my phone so I didn't get back to you. Thanks for sending a little extra for the paypal fees. My car should be up and running by next weekend so I can meet up with you then

    What if you were to only do the bends and not so much where they meet? Are there different size gaskets?

    Might as well do it all, and do it right. Might as well do the tgv's while you're at it. I can show you guys how to do it. Just get a tap so you can thread some bolts into the unused holes though.
