Will do.

I mean cutting down (if the iron is laid flat on a bench). However cutting down more will necessitate changing the angle of the bowl at the closing edge. I want to know what ought to be ideal. I will state my intentions with the motor soon, as I now realize that's important to this discussion.

I have been doing that. There's a thin scribe mark on the template, and you can still see it on the template. I'm asking if I should cut off the tiny bit of metal that makes up that scribe mark all around the port outline on the template.

looks pretty good though. Bowl and backcutting also seem decent!

Yeah, I'd prefer to leave the control ring area alone. This is intended to be a mild streetport with the potential to make 300+hp to the wheels later on. I'm going to run the stock turbo for a while, probably more than a year after the motor is installed, but once I have the means I will want to upgrade my turbo (and probably go standalone) and head for the mid 300's. I want it to be efficient, as economical as possible with regard to fuel for commuting, and make good power. I have all new seals/gaskets and good quality used housings, irons, and I think my rotors and e-shaft are in good shape. I'd like to have the rotors trimmed/bevelled/port phasing (there are a number of names for it I guess), but I doubt I'll get to that point. I will be running the stock ECU except for having the Rtek 1.7 chip (so I also have 720cc secondaries), I already have an SAFC-II set up running the throttle off the boost signal. I'm working on scrounging up the money for a zeitronix wideband, but idk when that will happen...
