Well, I ported the blower myself. Pics and explanation can be found on www.sloppymechanics.com (Not a company for moderator reference)
First let me say, Im not taking anything away from stieg. His ports are proven the best. I could never even come to close to porting the plenum, throttle body, and blower inlet like he does. However, I closely followed his Jan. 07 design.
I did not port the plenum or throttle body. I cleaned up the blower inlet slightly, but gave up after not having the proper tools. I did however port/open up the base of the blower. I used 3 different type hole saws to drill any circular holes you see in the pics. It worked out very well. I cleaned the ports up with an air dremel and abrasive pads. I just wished I would have taken out more material of the base on the stock "triangle" port.
After putting the blower together and installing it on the car (and forgetting to securely plug in the frps
) everything worked out great.
Bad News: MAF pegs, and a/f goes to lean for my likings after PEAK. My a/f at peak was 12.0 at the tailpipe, after that it goes up to 12.7 range. Power shouldn't be affected up top by richening it back up. I can't wait to dyno with nitrous and see how the port + nitrous help up top.
Video will be up soon. Here is the dyno graph. I made 24rwhp, and 20ftlbs. I made power and torque everywhere, and most importantly 33-37rwhp above 5800.
