Hey guys, just wanted to see what your opinios were on the job I did. I could probably be a little better, but just wanted to see if it was good enough before I throw it on the car. Thanks.

The last three pics are of the completed work. Let me know what you think!!
I put it on and had no issues with it idling or anything. Comparing it to the one I had on there , BIG DIFFERENCE!!!! Im gonna take it for a test run later on tonight!!!

What is the best grit paper or what do I use to get rid of the fine scratches?

can't really tell from the pics but make sure the lip is razor thin, . . the lip, being thick, creates tubulence, .

400 should be good, you can go to 600 if you want.

Just depends on how shiny you want it.

What method did you use to port it?

I used a dremel to get the bump out and then i used 150grit and then 220. I guess I have a little bit more to go. Where can I find the 400 grit??

I used 80 then 400 then 1200, put a little polish and buffed. Had a mirror finish!

Yeah, comparing it to the old one, it was all rough. It took me a couple of days but I finally got it right and im pretty pleased with it.

I go to 600 then use a polish and then an emory paper. Clean it up and it looks great.

I've never used a Dremmel.

You can go to any hardware store and pick up a drum sander with some extra sleeves.
Works great on the end of a variable speed drill or compressor.
It'll cost you ~$7-10.

That's all you need to port a TB.

I use a drum sander and go from coarse to medium to fine on the drums then 80 grit to get rid of the gouges from the drums followed by 120, 150, 220, 400, 600, 1000, then a polisher with compound...mirror finish

400 grit is available at home depot or at autoparts stores. Since you have a dremel, you can get some polishing paste and clean it real nice. Hit it quickly with the 400, then switch to the dremel and paste.

BTW, nice work.
