I bought a ported one from someone local, and it causes my car not to run on cold starts. The idle jumps around, and never goes up past 750, on cold starts I'm usually at 950 to 1000 rpm. Not good for a daily driver, it wasn't a clean job at all. I might have Bauer re-do it for me if it's worth the money.
