Best tools to use for horn mod???

What is the best set of tools to use for DIY horn mod? I read someone used a dye grinder and PB to keep it lubed and clean and then used 60 and 80 grit sand paper to clean up the edges after it was all done. Is that the best way to go for DIY? Also do i have to make my own gasket or would someone sell them?

i used a dye grinder and it worked pretty good... took a while
but the bolts really suck to get out... the bottom one is the worst

I believe it's the turbo mouth piece being drilled out to achieve it's maximum flow rate.

Haha i feel ya. Yeah its the short piece that comes out of your turbo into your intake. Look up horn mod in the search area and it will bring it up. It looks pretty easy to do. Im doing it this weekend. Its supposed to give you more air to your turbo for a quick and easy DIY performance mod. Its also supposed to give you a louder turbo whistle for some style points.

it makes sense, there's a lot of extra meat in that piece.
