Default Porting stainless steel??
Can I use a carbide bit to port my stainless 02 housing? The damn exhaust hole doesn't line up right with the turbo out and is blocking some of the flow.

Slightly better spool up would be nice.

Yes you can. i port matched a 1/2" thick 304 stainless flange on the turbo manifold you saw. did it with a carbide porting tool.
