Default Porting needed

I am considering going the route of FI and i'm just curious if porting is still beneficial once you start adding boost to the air coming in?

Porting what? Heads? Intake? TB? Blower? Exhaust manifolds?

The answer is yes, it helps, but not nearly as much as a n/a build so the cost might not be worth it.

Porting on heads is what I was wondering about. Thanks for the replies. Your responses were kinda what I would have thought.
