Poorly coming from the factory, well after being ported! ;-) They should match, if the intake is out why not match the two?

One thing that I am very much unsure about is the lip in the top of the throttle body just after the throttle plate. That's on the short side of the turn, so it's not obvious to me whether one is better off leaving a rough lip there or whether one should smooth it out. It might be an intentional vortex generator or an accountant's decision...

Keep us posted. Since the system is heating the fuel and can't match the boost pressure 1 for 1, there are some problems there. Given that it's boiling fuel, it makes a lot of sense that a pro is looking at the entire fuel circulation system.
