...How familiar are you with porting?

For a P-Port you have to drill it out though the housing and cr plating. Install the actual ports either by welding it in, or having a machinist drill, tap, and die the different portions (I highly doubt you have a tap and die that big). Once installed you have to fill it with epoxy and have it lapped to tolerances. Then you have to fill in the stock irons.

If you can't do a Bridge port I would not suggest attempting to do a P-Port. However, you do have a few options: 1) Check racing beat and get one of their pre-made P-Port housings, this will remove a majority of the difficult work and leave you to fill in the side housings with Dev-Con. 2) Get in contact with mazda and get factory made P-Ports that are actually cast that way. 3) Buy Aluminum side irons and get in touch with RB about not having ports put in, thus eliminating your need to put the dev con in.

Another option would be just to get a Large street port and call it a day. That's what I have done with my 6-PI Turbo, and I should be good for quite a good deal of HP/TRQ
