Take back the keys!

Does anyone know if I can pull this off myself? My intercooler is Aluminum but it is the dull rough Al not a polished, what do I have to use on it to get the roughness off to polish it up to a shinny?

Uhm... maybe read these?

Looks good im tempted to do it lol ill have to take a closer read tomorrow...

do it yourself, I polish all of my stuff.


go to TIP and ask them what you need, you start with a rougher wheel then work your way up to a high polish wheel. They give you rough compound and final compounds. The stuff is decently expensive, but a hell of a lot cheaper than paying someone else to do it. Make sure you wear goggles and go some place that can get dirty. Polishing makes a HUGE mess.

Oh yeah I used my 6" bench grinder removed the shields and made my own polisher. No need to buy some expensive sucker if you don't have too.

Good luck!

high grit sandpaper/mothers alum polish + alot of time

no, dont do that. Your fingers will be bleeding and your arms will be killing. Use a machine, it goes 1000x faster, with more consistent results.

.....Or just buy my perrin intercooler kit

I also agree with cory, if you dont have to - I wouldnt want to do it by hand

I heard 47-88!?... lol

^Haha, mabey Cory!

I would like to go bigger than a 35R, but I think the only smart way to do that would be do go with a Full Race's twin scroll manifold (= stupid $$). right now im thinking a 35r with a large hotside. It all depends on which company im working for this/next year!

Could always go the same route I did so you have the t4 option, and hotside is the same as a 40r .68. Maybe my numbers will help you decide more once this stupid thing comes back.

Mmm, ya. I will be interested to see how it works out now!

i would get a gt-k 1000

the gtk loooks mean!
