Im a porting noob, and I did ruin my original manifold being too aggressive. So I went more for smoothing then hogging out material in the ports in whats pictured. I was able to get a replacement for 75 bucks shipped though so chalk it up to cost of learning. There are tons of youtube videos on doing this though so you can look into the details.

Get rid of stock O2 housing. Do you plan on keeping it quiet or open it up with a dump?

Yeah, only need to open it up 1mm larger that exhaust port on head.
Make sure to shape your collector for smoother transitional flows.

I did put in some work on the collector area, I just didn't take pics. I just gasket matched it, which i figured i would do to the head at some point when my confidence level is high enough.
I recall the 02 housing being a pain in the *** to install with the turbo in the car.

You actually want the ports to be smaller than gasket so as gas flows out, it only increases in opeming size. And if you will install O2 in car, remove your radiator before attempting.
I won't try to remove any turbo studs while ithe turbo is still in the car. Those things feel like they were welded on!
