    inpart with my turbo rebuild, I'm polishing the compression housing, and exhaust housing. I'm also porting the exaust, and compression outlet.

    I'm hoping that the porting will reduce turbo-lag. The polishing is really just for me to prove to myself that i can do it.

    this isn't near completion waiting for dremel to recharge. I'm debadging the turbo, removing the markings except the serial number.

    Also the other side of the turbo needed to be cleaned up, it was all pitted and rusty and such, going to take alot more work but worth it in the end, will probably just end up shooting it with bar-b-que paint.

    Also there is no 'after' pic, you can sorta see it in the background of the second pic, and the 'before' pic shows alittle bit of me grinding away. I'm not going for a 'shine' on this, just a nice enough surface to paint.

    I was hoping i wasn't annoying anyone with my massive photos everywhere :)

    I'm just doing what I'd like to see when i'm looking for help. And photos always make the words alot easier to understand. atleast for me.

    oh ya for sure. nobody should be annoyed by photos i actually tend to go to the threads that have "pics" or "pictures" in the titles first because i like them so much. i can't imagine anyone is too much different.
