From what i read on this forum it not worth getting. Theres more to it than just port and polishing your TB. I think your also going to have to do the upper and lower intake manafold and take out the VSA. And you wont see much of a gain unless you have a turbo of SC or 3.5 from what i remember. But i'll let some one else chime in with more details.
I think you better off getting headers, TB spacers and cooling mods

Expect to see a gain of 1whp. Not saying it's bad, but it's the more reasonable answer based of previous dyno's with NA imports with basic mods. (not including muscle cars, I think they get ridiculous gains when they do pretty much anything).
