Welding ports onto 4" SD intake

Looking to get a 4" SD intake with all stock ports (crankcase breather, boost control vacuum, BOV recirc) and I don't think that's a thing that can be bought outright. I'm thinking of getting either the STM or ETS 4" intake - if I were to bring it to a machine shop should they be able to wold the ports on and so that it won't hurt airflow? Anyone ever do something similar?

No thoughts? I guess I can deal without the boost control bleed line but I would like the other two ports and 4".

typically, anyone running a 4" intake is going to have all external stuff... so your not going to get alot of input.

however, if you wanted to do it, as long as you had some quality welds... i dont see why it would be a problem.
