Default turbo porting

Does anyone know where this can be done locally.? I heard it helps with back pressure if you have a VF39 on a 2.5 rex. Or is it even necessary?

I should have done this before installing the vf34. But I didn't know who did the work in Alaska, and I was in a big rush to get the turbo on there...

No, it's not creeping at all, but I hear porting is good for 400 rpm earlier spool

the 34 spools pretty good as is and if its on a 2.0 it wont creep at all. the 39 is a creepaholic it could use a good waste gate port

Brandon, I would not put a 39 on your car, those turbos have a high tendency to crack right at the waste gate
