You can port/polish:

cylinder head
intake manifold (make sure to buy a larger or overbored throttle body)
exhaust side of the turbo

I am not sure if you can port te HRC manfold though. I think it's jut welded together not a cast piece like the stock one or Star manifolds. Someone else please shed light on this.

the hrc manifold IS cast steel. the real early kits came w/ a tubular design, but that was upgraded early on

So can I port/polish and will it have any differance of performance such as the time it takes for the turbo to spool up?

you can gasket match it and thin the inner walls of the flanged out area to make it flow a little better...i did mine and its fine...youll see what im talking about when its off the car..
