Hi people, I am in need of some advice & hope somebody can help me make the right decision...
I recently had the manifolds match-ported to the head & had the outlets ported out to be the full size of the gasket that goes between the turbo & the manifold. Since then the manifolds have been ceramic coated.
The issue is that I was looking at some pics of the turbos in a magazine & it appears that the exhaust inlet on the turbos is the same size as the factory ones (not larger as I woulod have thought), meaning that I should have left this side of the manifold alone
I need some advice on what to do from here. The way I see it my options would be:
1. To port out the inlet on the turbo to match.
2. To use another set of manifolds.
3. Just bolt it all up & don't worry about it

On the exhaust side you are meant to not match it and have the exhaust manifold oversized to reduce any reversal of exhaust gases. So how it is now is not ideal, What engine is this?
