....you might consider porting it yourself since it is very easy. ...just buy a 1 inch cutting wheel that fits into an electric drill and sand the intake side of the unit. ...do not touch the butterfly valve area or the back exhasut side...

I took a ton of material off mine...

...the average gains are small - about 5 HP.

I'v seen some ugly home ported units. Not saying they can't be good but we do alot of them.
