It needs to run up from the inlet port and finish level with the top of the transfers somewhere around 22 - 25 mm wide but check where the ring pegs are. The depth will depend on the amoununt of metal you have to play with. When I cut mine into an SR 225 type barrel i managed to break through to the outside between the fins :shock:

I'm sure one of the professional will be on soon but in the meatime, try the search facility, this has been covered in some depth with pictures before.
