Polishing ones turbo

Recommended Posts

Hi guys

 

My old man found his old polishing kit and has passed it onto me. First thing I wish to do is polish my turbo (THE CAR ONE damn your dirty minds). However how do I take the intake off the compressor is it just a case of undoing these bolts?

1) Undo the bolts

 

2) Take it off

 

Simple!

 

Doesn't matter which direction its pointing when you put it back on as you'll probably have to realign it anyway to point where you want it to go.

 

Don't forget a bit of locktite on the bolts whan you put it back.

The compressor housing is aluminium alloy.

 

The turbine housing is cast iron.

 

You can polish them both, but the turbine will turn blue/black straight away with the heat and will take a LONG time to get smooth.... would look better than the cast finish though!
