I did a mild port on the supercharger and throttle body. I took a 1/4" off the outlet of the SC. I opened the inlet a little more than 1/8" and sanded the hell out of it (it was rough cast in there). I also matched the throttle body to the inlet of the SC and sanded down all the harsh edges in there. I've seen that a lot of people doing this and going big. I just wanted to get 1/4" into it to see how much more response I get. After all, I can take more off, but I can't add any once it's gone, so let the testing begin! Here are some pics of the project, enjoy!


"The Beginning"


Cover up that hole.


Before the porting.


Cover them bearings, shavings are gonna fly!


After the porting, still needs a little clean up work.


Polishing the outside too!


MY FINGERS HURT LIKE A ***** AFTER THIS PROJECT!!!


I had to do something with the TB. I wasn't going to atempt to polish it. I liked the lines it had on it so I did this to make it look better.


Another angle.


Last one.

The pics didn't come out that good of the inside of the TB or the inlet of the SC so I didn't post them. Sorry, my camera sucks ass!

Looks good!

I did most of it by hand. I used sand paper 60 grit all the way up to 2000 grit, steel wool and Mothers Billet Polish. I did use a dremmel and die grinder but most places they would not fit.

Looks Great I do have to say from seeing the T/B on friday to now I do like how you sanded off some of the black paint on it. How much did you hone out your T/B?

I matched it to the inlet of the SC and took off about 1/4" and sanded down all the harsh edges in there so air would flow a bit better.

Well, I got it on and it sounds really good. I haven't driven my car in a while so I can't really tell the difference. It does seem a bit more responsive and it's definitely louder. I didn't get a chance to do any launches yet though. I will tomorrow definitely, that should be the test to tell if It did any good.

I tried the same thing ^ and now my car sits at idle bad and the rpm's jump up and down bad too! I had to order another throttle body.

Looks good though! Try to take pics of the inside. I would like to see how you did this

Hmmm. I didn't have problems like that at all. When I first started my car after I was done, I let it idle for quite a bit (maybe 20 minutes). Then I went for a drive, still no problems at all. Did you port the SC too? When I did the TB, I didn't take that much off, just matched it to the SC and smoothed out the harsh edges.
