Also replacing the screws with 100 deg. flathead S/S screws and cutting them down flush with the back side of the TB shaft. Plus if you are spending 2-3 hours on each TB that is way too much time. Set up on the proper machines can be done easily in half that time with far superior quality work.
The only thing you're doing any different than I am is the boring of the TB inlet and outlet....I use propper machinery I.E. Drill press and correct countersink bits and screws(90 degree in my case)....If i had a lathe i'ld be doing the extra steps you are...i'm a bit limited in that department as i'm just getting started, or trying to at least.

Far superior quality? Have you seen my work as of yet to state something like that? Sorry but i put a lot of time into my work so that the quality is as good as it is. That statement was taken as a bit of a slap in the face, though i'm sure you didn't intend it that way....I'll have pic up tomorrow night...
I understand you're not trying to Knock what i'm doing...but in essence isn't that exactly what you've done?
