Broke through while elongating holes on 95mm TB. JB weld?
I was already on the fence about getting a ported 95 or a 103, and now while elongating the bolt holes I punched through. Anyone do this and fixed it?

By punched through, I am assuming you mean pulled the elongation out so far it broke through the edge of the casting? And only on a single hole? Pictures might help for suggestions, but just off imagination I would suggest if you aren't adept at welding try taking it to a machine shop and have them put the metal back. While you're there, give them the dimensions needed for the holes, and they can set it up for you. I think this method cuts the least corners and saves you the most time/headache. Not the cheapest method, but it will make it right.
The most cost effective might be just ordering a new TB, or the TB you want that is already set up for you, if the above repair method might cost you similar or more.

To be honest, while it's probably not preferable, that hole is just in the exterior casing. I don't think it's going to hurt anything. If the bolts are in alignment and fit to the manifold, I'd send it.
