My new Turbo with the PPI treatment!

Just thought I would post a piq of my new FP green turbo. I ported the hotside, gasket matched it. Had the hotside Swain coated. Then I decied to clean up and polish the cold side of the turbo
I am real happy with how it looks and should perform even better
Very soon she will be on the road.

Cheers

I thought polishing made metals retain heat

sent you a pm!

No real story here. I probably don't post enough piqs here showing people some things we do. So I had a nice piq and we just added the polishing of the turbo to our site. Just thought I would post up a piq of my turbo, you don't see too many polished green's, thats all.

I don't think I will have to touch this turbo any more to get the results I am looking for.

nice.....but that kind of defeats the purpose of getting a 20glt cause that turbo suppose to be stealthy. That's the only reason i want that turbo cause to the untrained eyes it looks like stock turbo........but looks great anyways.

Not for me...I don't care about stealth. I have this turbo for its good spool characteristics and 10 sec. capabilities.

I know the polishing isn't for everyone though and thats kool.
Thanks for the compliments

Um I think most people are buying them because they are an excellent turbo, not because they are stealth. If anything, its a "polished" stock turbo compressor housing... which is it
