Polish the pipes. I dont think it will pop as much with the black pipes. You have a blanket over one turbo and can barely see the other so I think pc them. No point in spending a lot on something you cant see.

He is talking about the compressor side. the blanket is only on the exhaust side

as far as polishing goes....am I going to have to get this tubing chrome plated or can the steel actually be polished into a shine? seems like that might be pricey.

what about black compressor housings and white tubing?

polished housing and matte black piping? polished housing and clear white piping?

as far as polishing goes...would they actually just media blast the old crap off and buff it till it shines or will it be dipped/plated?

housings as in compressor side i would send to ryan at boostlab and they sand them down and then polish them out to a shine that is show quality so worth it, they do an amazing job

Just noticed the site is live and up! Congrats on getting it up so quickly Gare and everybody else! Can't wait to see what's in store!

If the pipes are stainless they should be able to be polished. Otherwise they will need some sort of coating(chrome, PC, etc.).

probably getting paid at work to post this from my bionic
