Default Ported and polished my intake manifold
Also removed some useless things to make room for boost. Waiting on FMU and HKS wastegates to get here.

Also replaced my front eibach 1" prokit with B&G 1.6" to match the rear fender gap.

The intake manifold looks buttery-smooth, nice job Are you planning to start showing off your ES at shows (once you put your TT in)?

Nah, I dont have the patience to keep it clean enough to participate in shows. I almost always have mud on the car (as depicted in photo 2) lol.

now, it us my understanding that you're currently running a bottle for your car... you mentioned boost, what are you planning to do to your car as far as forced induction?

Dremel wire brush and a regular drill with wire brush. Used purple power degreaser to clean out the insides first.
