removing metal by means of a die grinder / your teeth etc to give a better flowing path on the inlet and exhaust housings of your turbo

High flowing a turbo can also include lathing out the standard compressor housing and fitting a larger compressor wheel.
EDIT: WOOOT! 700 Posts! Not something to be really proud of. I need to get outdoors more.

depends on the turbo.
If you have a td04. Then its probably not worth doing as you can get larger bolt on IHI VF Series turbos for pretty cheap. Say you had a modern td05 20g and you wanted more out of it. It may then be worth high flowing a turbo like this. Instead of buying a td06, you could possibly get it high flowed to fit a td06 compressor wheel or something like that.

Have a look at that mate. The VF turbos are direct bolt on replacements pretty much (you have a VF (24?) turbo in ur car atm assuming it is still the stock turbo)
