Wow! Looks really cool!

Did you do that with just sand paper and polishing compound???

I started out with a palm sander, then went to hand sanding, then wet sanded it, and then a air powered polishing wheel with some mothers polish. All for teh blang blang. It took about 25 to 30 hours to get it to where I was pleased with it. Its far from perfect, but as you can tell from the first pic and the last its a big difference.

u mean the compressor, not the turbo, rite? it looks pretty nice, done they do that with brand new ones? or do u have to get one shiny like that on special order

Most places will do it for an added cost. I bought my setup form a fellow board member, and it didnt come polished. It fits in better to my sheet metal intake, and soon to be polished valve cover.
