Thumbs up Polishing the elbow

>I wanted the polished look for the supercharger components so I brought the rough cast Vortech elbow to this place not to far (Holyoke , Ma.) and they did a superb job .

looks good. how much did u pay 4 the elbow not polished and where did u get it from?

BTW, the Meziere EWP works great so far. its not really noisy IMO, deff. keeps the car A LOT cooler than b4 too.

I bought my elbow polished it looked awesome for about 2 DAYS!!!
You will have to keep polishing it to look good. So I spent $100 and got it chromed a little glass cleaner and its back to a mirror shine!

>Hmmmn chrome ... that's a good idea .
The elbow came with the Vortech T-trim so it costs about $3200.00 and the rest of the kit was free .

From the title I though you were referring to a different type of activity.
