How much and where to port TB to 52mm?

Very simple question, I have an extra bare TB laying around and wanted to know how much it would cost and who could port it to 52mm or more?

The stock intake will accept a 52mm already. If you go larger then you will have to port it but you could do that easily with the gasket as your template and a few grinding supplies from you local ace hardware and a drill motor.

David Koldos (dkoldos@ameritech.net) did mine. You will need to ask him
about current prices. I was pleased with the work.

Thanks fella's I'll have to contact some of these folks. I didnt think it would be that much, but it sure is cheaper than buying a whole new one.

Airfoils still work in the 52mm's right?

If you have an air foil be sure you send it along with the TB so it
can be align bored to match.
