If the hole is smaller than the gasket, u can play with it some by rounding it nicely and smooth out the rough areas but if it is already matched to the gasket then not worth messin with it

Maybe the seller tried to port match it, messed up and sold it. I cant fathom a shop sending that out the door. I could do better drunk, blindfolded and with a chainsaw.

What would be the purpose of doing the runner openings like that? The turbo side and inside the runners look pretty good.

That's why I purchased it, thought I was getting a good deal, only heard good things about his work. Should have asked for more pics of it.
