so i got bored (blank honey-do list) and decided to polish my recently acquired hx35 compressor housing prior to install. needless to say this was a royal pita and something i will not likely do again. that being said. i filmed most of it with my hero3 and increased the video speed by 5x. makes for an interesting watch. mod- please move to more appropriate category if you see fit

Are you sure that's an HX35 it looks to me like an HE351 or an HY35?
 
That's a lot of work, man!
Good job.

Would you do it again if you replace the turbo, or would you order one pre-polished?
 
You made me remember how much a pain my valve cover was. I think you still need 20 more hours of hand sanding at 1000,2000,3000 and then polish to a mirror.

Why did you bother taping the thing at all if you left the back open?
