Whoops. Here's a couple pics of my ports. Before anybody says anything, I'm resurfacing the irons.

that is a huge exhaust port, you may want to reconsider running that.



it all depends on how much power you are looking for, to properly size the turbo for you goals.

there is no point that is just bad engine building. unless you are talking about a HUGE street port with very late port closing for primary and seocondary, and very early open. with that much area and flow for high rpm you will need a large exhaust port to keep teh flow balanced on teh intake and exhaust sides. going with a small intake and a huge exhaust port doesnt make sence. on a turbo engine you want the exhaust maybe be a little bigger then you would want on the na engine since it will help spool the turbo. these are the basics without going too much into detail. its basicly all about balance.
