Port only ONE side! Port the side facing the front of the car. The walls on the TB are VERY THIN!!!!!! If you hog out too much, you will break into one of the cavaties.
I did my own and it worked out well. All you need to do is smooth and straighten out the opening. You can get fancy and fill in the big square opening with J B Weld and use a brass tube for the air hole.
