I didn't polish mine because I plan on eventually replacing it with a sheetmetal intake manifold and a BBK throttle body. But here's where I become a post whore. I polished my EGR valve, PS pump, heat shields, turbo coolant lines, and just installed some stainless steel valve cover fasteners and a braided stainless turbo oil feed line. It definitely added to the bling factor.


I'm a fat stinky whore. I know. Get my own thread... But, polishing engine parts IS addicting. It's one of the longest running trends in hot rodding, and it looks good on ANY car. Your car is going to be amazacrazy with that thing bolted on there, and I doubt you'll ever see another one like it because of what a PITA they are to polish.
