Default Is it worth it to port exhaust side of turbo?

I am about to install my kit, but I am waiting on one last part that wont be here for another week. Would it be wise to port the exhaust side of my turbo while its off. The turbo is used, but not very much. Its the standard Drag III GSR turbo. I am gonna be running 8-9 lbs. on the VAFC hack. Should I port it?

I just posted a pic for how to hook up the FMU. If you are running the VAFC hack under 10psi, you don't need a FMU.

LOL, yeah I know that. I am gonna run the FMU for 2 or 3 weeks till I get all my stuff for the AFC hack. I did so much research on the hack side of it, I realized that I wasnt positive on how to do the FMU in the first place. But anyway, does anyone know if I should go ahead and get the exhaust housing ported?
