Porting stock turbos?

Has anyone ever looked into porting the stock turbos? I mean I'm not expecting to pick up a ton. But why not even a gasket match port job? Or is it not even worth my time with the size of these little things. I understand the gains would be minimal or wouldn't be worth pulling the turbos for it. But I have a brand new set sitting on my bench here waiting to go in. So I'm thinking why not.

Did you line up the gaskets and flanges already to check if a port is even needed? I guess I didn't even look when I did my turbo. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say its probly pretty good from the factory and likely not worth hassle or risk.

I did actually this is the front turbo with a factory gasket on it. I agree I'm not expecting 50hp out of it or anything. But any free hp is good hp in my eyes.
