Well, as if polishing fresh metal ain't bad enough I sure have some work ahead of me.

It took a bit of work to remove the combination of stainless patina and baked on earth from just one half of my turbine uppipe.

This is the piece that connects to two headers, wastegate and turbo.

The rough finish is only half done but the pic should give you a good idea of the before and after effect.

I figured as long as I am lucky enough to have a stainless exhaust system I should at least make everything pretty while I have it apart.
