Question

Just when I thought I was getting a reasonable understanding of most things to do with tuning a scoob this came along and baffled me ( please no pish taking not a mechanic so will plead ingnorance)

But if some kind clever person could tell me whats involved, how long it takes where does it and what are the benefits I would be very grateful. Not many questions I know.

Cheers

Ade

Port matching the manifold/headers (same thing) invloves opening out the hole of the manifold so they're at least as big (better a little bigger than) the exhaust outlets of the head.

Worthwhile mod Biggest sh*t is getting the damn heatshields off the manifold. Oh, buy new gaskets b4 you start.
