Default Ported TB Question

I promise I used the search feature, but I cannot find a "How to" on how to port a tb. Anyone have a link? Also, I was looking at the MAF porting write-up on Install U. Is this worthwhile? I only ask, because I see everyone talking about the benefits of the ported TB, but never heard anyone talking about porting their MAF. Thanks.

Never heard of porting the MAF. De screening has been done alot. Porting it doesn't make sense to me, if you caught one of the pins in the middle you'd be screwed

if i remember right, ws6store sells a new housing kit for it thats a little more open and gets rid of the middle support. PLUS SIDE, opened more to move air. MINUS SIDE, the sensor is more open if u happen to take the air filter out at the track. i never had a problem with it in the 3 yrs i had it

Porting the MAF ends is not worth it...don't touch the maf...Best bet is to send your TB out for porting... It's 40-75$ and it's done right.
