Smoothing Turbo Housing

[Adz2332]

Hey all

Im tiding up my engine bay....

Has anyone smoothed a turbo housing before? as im looking at getting it hydro dipped.

What prep did you do? and what did you use?

Can the turbo housing be unbolted and bolted back up by myself with no hassles?

Thanks

There are a few videos on how to pull a range of turbos apart and put it back together on youtube.

And idk on smoothening it out, but I'm guessing it would be the same as a plenum. Take very little off, just enough to smoothen it out?

This going to be a show car?

How does hydro dip go with the heat?

hydro is meant to be good with heat...

The engine bay im trying to get to show standards

Compressor housings are easy to pull off.It is as simple as it looks. Undo the bolts on the back and carefully pull it off without hitting blades etc.

I don't really understand why you'd be cleaning up the engine bay and be focusing so much on the comp housing. In my mind the most I'd want to do is give it a hit with some heatproof paint. Silver, black, whatever colour suits

Smooth chrome housings look O.K on the right car, but usually these are engine bays that have many many dollars spent on them

Give the housing to hi octane coatings and get it ceramic coated, they polish and coat and it looks hot...

Polished chrome like colours or any colour you want, they do alot of the high profile cars...

Or craved coatings should be able to sort it out as well. They do good work
