Thanx for the response boosted.....I am about to tackle this with a friend in the next few weeks. How hard is it to take the LIM off as its far below? I was just going to do the UIM and TB cause i dont have the best in tools and shop area. Do you or any one else for that matter, have any pics of the porting job? Also could you clarify the removel of the butterflies in the UIM and what to do properly. I like to make sure I do things properly.
thanx

if you are short on tools and experience, don't touch the LIM. i don't think you can get to the bolts with the turbos there and they are time consuming to remove. plus i'm sure something will break while you are removing all that **** - solenoids, vac hoses, studs etc.
unless you plan on porting the LIM and UIM and TB, its probably not worth doing just one. you could do more harm than good. i ported the intake on one of my vw once and it didn't feel all that good afterward down low. lost some torque down low and it ran like ****.
i'm considered doing my intake manifolds with Jet-Hot 2000 if/when I replace the turbos. I think it was about about $100-200 can't remember. I spoke with one guy on rx7club that did the jet hot and extrude hone and he said his car felt a bit more responsive and seemed to stay cooler.

the turbos have to come off. it will seem like a pain the first time but is not all that bad pretty straight forward.
i dont know about coating the ineer surface of anything though. if it does not bond 100% it will flake into the engine.
