Well I finished JBwelding the holes shut and sanding the rough edges down, once the TB is bored/polished, you'll never be able to tell that JBweld is even there(at least on the inside) I haven't decided if I'm gonna polish, chrome, or paint the TB..I think I'll just leave it as it is...

Well, when I get my new motor I guess, but seeing as how the new motor isn't stock, and the turbo isn't stock...it'll be hard to tell exactly what gains I get. However, I probably will not bore the TB out until I've driven the car for a lil while...I gotta leave myself somewhere to improve. I'm looking for the 450/500RWHP mark...
