Default Quick Noob Question About Compressor Housing

hey guys,
I read the rotating the center section sticky and had a quick noob question. I'm going to be removing the compressor housing to polish and clean the inside of it. I was wondering if all I had to remove was the 6 bolts on the back side of the compressor housing and it will come off? Also, do I need to mark the compressor turbine side and exhaust if I'm only going to be removing the compressor housing? I didn't think so, but I figured I'd ask since this is my first custom build.

thanks in advance

i polished the inside of the coimpressor housing of the last two turbos ive had. Someone i was talking to said it made a noticable difference. i doubt it but it doesnt take very long and can be done while on the couch watching tv
