Performance gain from mirror polish 6 port Actuator
See this pic Japanese tuning site, wonder any. Noticeable performance gain can be feel?
But any thing might be help, since Rx8 already smooth plastic manifold, not too much place u can port and polish !!?

Water Foul
You know the answer to that question.
Even if you got 1HP out of it, you would not feel that in a 3,000Lbs car, and it would make no difference to lap times.

Smoking turbo yay
You seem to focus a lot on these small details... It's good to be detail-oriented if you can see the big image as well. Otherwise, being detail-oriented isn't necessarily a good quality.
I talked to an FD owner who watches the RX-8 scene as well and he basically just said either don't bother with power, or just throw a turbo on it.
The money you can spend on these things should be saved up towards a turbo IMO. Again, lots of other areas for improvement before this will become a problem.

It's worse than all that.
Even with a mirror polish, they're going to get coated in a rough layer of ash, carbon, and resin/varnish. They won't flow better for very long.

The primary power limitation on a Renesis is getting it out; not getting it in, but even then there are a bunch of things further upstream to address than worry about than surface boundary flow at that one location. It was already smooth enough and why assume that the sleeve is in any way the limitation of flow. If the limitation is elsewhere then it’s entirely a waste of time and effort.
Or did some magazine claim a 20% improvement again?
