Just the intake was polished.

It’s been a while since my last update. I sent my turbo out to be rebuilt, since it was pushing a little oil in the exhaust housing. I finally got it back and installed it. I upsized the turbo oil drain to AN10 from AN8 too.
I also sent out my injectors to FIC for testing, cleaning, and balancing. The results were interesting. The 2150’s were within 2% match of one another, however the flow rate was down to a 1950 average! My secondary 900’s were spot on. FIC was able to get the 2150 back in spec.
I took the oil pan off the car to update the turbo drain fitting and to inspect the lower end. Everything looks good. I also welded in another clamshell IC piping clamp. It is ready for the season! I don’t know if I’m going to get to my K-member done this year unless I get started very soon or purchase one.
