I read through everything carefully and there was a reason for me posting the image. I will say this. Those ports are being shaped by a very, very knowledgeable rotary tuner, someone with vast roadracing motorsports experience on a professional level. No one has ever considered that Rick's ports may be very conservative per the application or request by the car's owner. Just because Rick ported the exhaust that way doesn't mean his ports will fit every application. It's a total package and must be altered to suit intake porting, etc...I'm willing to bet Rick isn't installing rotors which look like the ones posted below!

Check the earlier pics. It seems that general consensus is that your opening eadge is round versus your closing edge being straight. You have that reversed. The whole threat started with looking at Rick Engmanns ports which are that way.

You absolutely right. Timing and size of the ports have to match your application. I was trying to discover which shape of port is the best flowing one. I would think general principals , like port shape is generic for all engines.
That rotor looks impressive. Clean work. So are you running a full bridge?

maybe you need sleeves with a small amount of expansion to keep the wheels in the turbo? or did it get better with the larger port/sleeve combo?
