I personally feel that polishing is over-rated. Porting is a good idea.. but the best thing is to port while trying to achieve max air velocity instead of volume. Machining of the valves and bowl area to produce swirls is a great thing for combustion.. just dont spend all your money on headwork if you're going turbo cuz in reality, N/A cars get more benefit from headwork.

a ported head on a turbo car will yield a bigger power gain

i think it is a no brainer that porting on a turbo car WILL yield some gains.. but if you compare the percentage gained on a turbo car vs a NA car, you'll see that money is better spent porting the NA car.. leaving you with more money to fool with management systems for the turbo.
