Teflon flaking occurs on almost all blowers, modded or not.

At what point does to much porting compromise the strength of the case?

Apten tech: I still dont agree 100% but i respect the way you have handled things and you have a business to run. Good Luck, maybe when i get a little extra I will send you mine. Its kind of nice to have a vender that doesnt get all bent out of shape when you question them! But give him time j/k

yes, but the extent will vary.

That's a hard question to answer. Just porting the triangle doesn't bring up any issues, but if you are going to add as second hole like we do you really need to test your design and find out what works the best. You also shouldn't open it up too far back.

Man you did open that up! Did you radius the inside of the opening or leave it square?

Flame you?
Hell I give you props for doing this, not many of us have the skill to do this and even less have the Mill to do it on!

Props!

Sorta but not quite....placement is also critical I think
