What exactly is Polished Metal?

Is it similar to chrome? They offer FI kits Polished, so what is the difference between chromed and polished metals?

Polished is when they sand it down with a fine sand paper and then buff it to a shine. Chromed is bling bling. A lot more shinier.

I dont think I have seen a chrome turbo or SC, I would think that with the chrome it would retain way to much heat.

Why does the polished pipe going to the intake manifold look different on this polished kit?

I don't understand your question, but if you;re referring to the neoprene sleeves that fit at each joint, I couldn't tell you where to buy them...
