Gonna port my 02 who's gonna help me

[steviek]

Well I lent my buddy my hanes manual last week when his car died at the track. And I have been having horrible problems with boost creep so I decided I'm going to port my 02.
I got all the info on how to port it properly and all the tools to do it.
Now I just need the info on the best way to get at the damn housing. It looks like I'm gonna have to take off exhaust manifold turbo, Ic pipes and down pipe to get at it.
You guys got any helpful tips on what to do and how to do it quickest and easiest or any problem spots I should look for.

ummm....unbolt it from the turbo, then go underneath the car and unbolt the downpipe from the 02. Shouldn't take more than 20 minutes or so. Shit mine almost FELL off when the bolts rattled loose once.

You still don't have that stud in there, right?

Porting the O2 isn't going to help your creep very much, you need to focus on the exhaust housing of the turbo.

Are you sure you ported it properly? The key is the entrance to the wastegate flapper at the turbine inlet.

Did you get the upgraded wastegate flapper on your turbo?

No problem, I wasn't trying to be rude or anything with the "are you sure you did it properly", so I hope it didn't come off that way. I just know it's a common thing that people overlook when porting the exhaust housing.

Since I just upgraded to a 3" exhaust, I'm hoping that I'm running high enough boost that I won't have to worry about creep.
