Personally, I'd rather get it Jethot coated. Not only do they coat the entire intake inside and out, but the coating effect gives it a polish texture to it almost like getting a polish job on the intake. All I have to say is that I actually felt a differance from it.

After polishing a lot of stuff on my car, I am now sending it to TTT. It is hard work.
But if you want to do it yourself, and if you have the time, it is very cheap and straightforward to do. Get the supplies from Eatswood (http://www.eastwoodco.com). They sell an aluminum polishing starter kit that has most of what you need.

Apexi RX6 BB single turbo (turbo, DP, LIM ceramic coated)
Crooked Willow Stock Mount IC (still w/o a duct - waaah!)
Greddy Elbow with Greddy Type-S BOV (stupid whistling sound)
Polished UIM, Alternator, thermo switch housing, TB
There is a group that is coming out with a IC kit like the Crooked Willow, so you can have a duct to go with it. Should be hearing from them on the Forum soon.

If you want something you can use by hand go with "Mothers Mag wheel polish" and "Semichrome"

You can just buy a 4" buffing wheel that you can use with your basic hand drill. I did. I think mine came out pretty good. Although, not a perfect as TTT's work.
