Anyone know of a good place I could send my throttle body to get polished and ported? Don't mind paying a

bit extra for a propper job.

As far as I know everybody has done their own.

Thats what I did but because of a broken sensor!

I used some round metal files, others have used dremel type tools, both with a hand finish with emery paper.

I've tried both files and dremmel, and with a dremmel it's quicker, easier and leaves a better finish.

After dremmel I get the metal polish out and a rag and use good old bit of elbow Greece to get almost mirror finish
