Intake and Head questions

[fast400]

Ok...there's no question my heads and intake have been ported. As I was cleaning parts and getting rid of the white paint on my intake(who would paint an intake white???) I noticed the port job, looked at the heads and noted they've been ported too. Is there a way to note if it was done well? It looks like an EGR hole in the intake was plugged too...should I leave this or try to remove this extremely hard epoxy stuff?
Glassbeaded the upper intake a bit to get rid of the white paint...looks ok now.

Not sure how to tell if it's a good or bad port job done ... besides doing a flow test of some sort .. if it all looks smooth etc then it can't be too bad.

The intake looks like the EGR port been removed / milled ... I need to find a picture of mine to compare.

If you end up replacing the upper plenum be aware that even if the GN one looks the same the part number is in the back and not up front so would look different and incorrect.

The lower intake is identical to the GN one.

Thanks Jan,
Mine's definately far from stock. When I first drove it home, it felt like it pulled just a bit better than my other TTA...between the ported heads and intake I guess there's the 3 extra horsepower I felt...
