polished turbos?

who has em? Who did it? And what did it cost? Post pics if you got em!

also curious if anyone has anything coated with the polydyn polished coating, just curious if the finish stays pretty for long.




Thanks in advance.

Just remove the compressor case and smooth them out and polish it yourself, it's easy and just a lil bit of effort.

Ok, I've never polished a turbo so I didnt know how, sounds simple enough.



Now has anyone used that polydyn coating on the exhaust manifold? And if I coat the exhaust housings and hot pipe should I use the polished finish or the regular polydyn coating.


I want it to look really sharp under the hood

Wet sand when you sanding makes a better job and get a bottle of advil or alive because your hand are going to be hurting.I like useing the 3m scotch brite pad on my air angle grinder the fine one alot faster.just remember not to grind to hard so you don't get any flat spot.you will still have to do some sandin for blending.Have fun.

Probably varies depending on if you sealed them and the type of conditions you drive in.

I agree with what was said above I did the housing on my stock turbo and it turned out pretty good but is pretty hard on the hands.
