ebay T70s arent nice sized; they dont have 70mm compressors at all.
The T61 kit in the XSPower kit (you know what retailer I'm talking about
I'm getting one soon myself) is a great kit.

I would get the XS Mani, Downpipe,Dump Tube and Intake but I would go for a reputable turbo(Precision, Turbonetics etc) and Wastegate (Tial, TurboSmart etc)

Well that doesn't make any sense either since you are reducing surface area when you sand smooth and polish it.
I thought it was pretty obvious he was talking about the inside since he ended it with "will this Help"
