Thought I would post up a pic of my before and after polishing of the compressor housing off my AMS GT35 turbo which will be fitted to my car soon, what do you all think:wub:

Thanks bud but I can't take credit for the work, it was done by Caerphilly metal polishers for £20

Not sure tbh but I dropped it into him last Wednesday and when I rang up Friday he said it was done but I only picked it back up today. Couldn't believe how good it is though going from rough cast to full polished takes some doing I bet:eek:

They used to do it on the Scoobs with the inlet manifold on top of the engine! People would get half done and give up lol.

Ha thats what i would probably have done, but fairplay for £20 it's not worth getting the dremmel out.

Oh I did chuck him an extra tenner as I was that impressed so £30 and a bit of feelgood factor is a bargain:angel:
