just started doing a quick polish started with 240 grit, then 400, 800, scourer. then mothers metal polish. one side is finished as much as i want it, and the other side is sanded up to the scourer

240 seems a bit rough to start at, and i would have finished somewhere after 800 grit but looks alright

omg uleh, that's massive. why'd you choose to use the bellmouth instead of the pod? obviously the bellmouth will let more air in, but wont all poo get in ya turbo?

dont run it full time.. only when you want to EG drags, when your showing off your motor, when you go events like powercrusie and jambo.... not sure if it will hinder the does or enhance it.. only one way to find out Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

look at the bottom right corner. see the brand new K&N 4 inch filter chillin there. as matty said its just a show pony thing, same reason i have a high mount manifold, polished plenum, 18" wheels, looks good when showing it off.
