I thought you're putting on a turbo?
the stock turbo manifolds and dump pipes have lots of meat in it to carve out for better, reliable flow


you should also keep in mind that the intake ports should NOT be smooth... a rough textured surface is best to promote fuel atomisation.... smooth surfaces causes fuel pooling and poor engine efficiency results!
