Porting Headers - Is it 'really worth' doing the up-pipe.

I have a spare set of headers to port/get ported and wanna know if the up-pipe will need doing.
Some people seem to do this, some don't.

Basically I can't be arsed with taking the up-pipe off, unless it's gonna make a big difference.

To be honest I think you can smooth the upipe entry with it in place if you bung some rags in there. Dont you fancy removing the turbo port that?

Because I have a spare set of headers sitting on the garage floor, crying out to be ported. They also have the lambda hole in the header, so I can fit a wideband and narrow band or EGT probe.
