Compressor housing questions?

So, im in the middle of a turbo rebuild along with a few other mods and I wanted to pick yalls brains.
When i pulled the compressor housing off and finally got all of the oil residue off of it I noticed that there are a lot of casting marks left on the compressor backing plate. Is there any reason to / need to polish this out?
Not sure that it would make any difference performance wise, but it just looks ugly...

It's likely the only thing it will give you is peace of mind. But hey, that's worth something, right?

Very true, piece of mind is good though!
Im honestly a little appalled at the fact that they took the time to polish the housing (at least most of it) but didnt bother with the backing plate.
