You can use one, but you DON'T NEED one. It's easily enough to grind a few millimeters of the head, where the injectors will be aimed. Some have even done nothing to the injector area.

got mine off ebay about a year ago.
as said you can open the ports out for the injectors, but you need to be sure you don't go too far to break through the port walls.
