Garret's pulley and my Efini Y-Pipe

Hey Garret ! ! ! ! Yo Dude.....it's done and I'll send it out to you on Monday. I'll have to talk to you about those parts. LOL
Here's your pulley (those are clouds and a tree in the pulley) not imperfections (-;


My Y-pipe ....finally done ! ! ! !


Bonus....Alex's turbo compressor housing

Hey Dale,
I did G's pulley (you can tell by my lack of attention to detail) I couldn't get to the center with the "colors rouge" to take out the discoloration in the center. Mothers will fix that but the rest came out Fine !! The Efini- Y-pipe and large single housing James did. Wait till you see the latest intakes and TB he just finished up. Jack

Too long for it to be worth the work.

I did the pulley at work on a couple breaks, (hand sanded to remove the machining marks) then two grits of polishing compound, and finished up with "colors rouge". The turbo housing I rushed James on (not an easy thing to do ! ! ) got it on a Thursday and had it shipped back out that Monday. The Y-pipe (mine he had for three month's) he still has the LIM I got from Matt. There's not a whole lot you can do to do this fast except learn what short cuts you can get away with and still get the desired results. Here's a link to the stuff he just finished (these were core returns from other members cars)

Sometimes you can find it on ebay for a reasonable price shipped.
