Kinda OT, but where do you get Porting Bits. I tried looking online all i came up with is that it should be an aluminum Carbide bit of some sort. Where should i look?
Thanks

Home Depot.

I went there, they have bits, but it seems like the bits i find only last 5 minutes before the burrs are completly shot. maybe im buying the wrong ones. any suggestions?

**scheides** · 10-10-2007

I bought a $5 set of bits in the air-tools section at HD. Ate through 2.5 of them porting out my turbine housing. Not the best, but they got the job done and they were cheap!

What about harbor friehgt?

AJ · 10-10-2007

There is a place on Uni that sells porting bits but I can't remember the fuck'n name.

Maybe swanny with chime in? They are pretty close to MAS, just on the other side of the street I think.

It wasnt Ax Man was it?

I got mine from carbidebur.com. They are pretty decent so far, I think I spent $15-$20 on two burs, but they were worth it IMO. The aluminum one is still going strong, but porting aluminum is like melting butter with a heat gun. The iron one is still holding strong though, after a pretty rigorous workout on my o2 sensor housing, manifold, and hot side. Shipping was pretty decent too, I think I had them 8-10 days after order.

Harbor freight is right down the street from my house. Their burrs are even worse. I went once around the manifold and the burrs were totally gone.

Oxygen Service and Supply, they are actually off lexington and I don't remember/nor care

Does anyone have a boost leak tester that'll work with the 4" inlet on my turbo? I think I have a couple leaks to track down.

**scheides** · 10-10-2007

I have a 3" one and I'm 99% sure I have a 3" to 4" adapter that will work, and a boost leak tester to boot!

No, I'm talking about that sotre on Uni, the one we bought the oval bits from, and the pink triangle looking bits. It's a storefront right on uni and they had lots of weird misc shit.

**JET** · 10-10-2007

Sounds like Ax Man, AJ. I know there is one down there somewhere and *he who shall not be named* loved to go there.

I have a 4" boost leak tester. When they get to 4" the tire valve doesn't like to stay in it too well, you have to hold it a bit. It works though.

Anyone doing anything Friday night? Maybe I will get my trailer back and bring the talon down if the bolts come this week yet (which they should). I know my spacer just came in.

AJ · 10-11-2007

Yeah, that's it. That pile of walking shit used to love to go there and buy those things by the box.

turbotalon1g · 10-11-2007

I might come down and install my wideband, fucking dsmlink guy might be fucking me over cause i still dont have my O2 housing and wastegate.

I'll be around Friday, I'll help ya tear into it if you want

I don't have much for air tools though, just the basics and a wee little compressor. I'm game though if you want to tear into it!

**JET** · 10-11-2007

Sweet, I can bring all the tools, I just don't have a garage spot right now. I was going to do it in the driveway but it got cold damn quick! I still don't have the bolts though, so unless they come tomorrow I won't be able to do it. I just called and it is being drop shipped from ARP, he is going to call back with tracking info.

**JET** · 10-11-2007

I just got the tracking number, they didn't ship the damn things out until yesterday. I won't have them until the 16th. Bastards!!

**scheides** · 10-11-2007

Suxor! Oh well, maybe there will be a miracle and they'll get delivered today or tomorrow

Kevin 1G Drummer · 10-11-2007

I'll try to stop by friday night, I wanna do a boost leak test, and check my base timing. Other than that, my car is good to go.
