    stevenet15 does them to matey.
    he posted a pic up somewhere on here of what to do and a before and after pic.

    as for the tools needed, you will need a dremmel style tool with all the stones, sanding bobbinns, polishing pads etc. not too sure how long it takes to do mind you??

    Its not worth doing because the gains that you get a quite small and there is a chance that if you don't know what you are doing then you could mess you throttle body up.

    look for some threads by spencer_cammedVTS or stevenet15. they offer a porting an polishing service and they are cheaper than going out and buying the tools that you would need to do it as well.
