Dozens of boost options... enough to make your head spin too.

Saw one with an LS swap at a cats & coffee event last year...

 

Ls swaps are Meh imo.

 

Beyond my abilities...

 

Late work day yesterday. This as well as the leg which connects the driver side to the merge(out of frame) are nearly complete. All that currently is left of this portion, is the flange. Has four opposing 5-dab beads, but nothing more.



Once the flange is welded up ,then I'll fuse the leg onto the merge. (Merge is in the left of the picture.

From there, the passenger header into merge can be fabricated. Then the portion with the turbo flange can be pulled off of the support, finish welded and wastegate tube attached. Very close ladies and gents.

 

^^^ How I feel when I key the ignition, to head home and work on it!

 

Since you have a good fit and purging have you tried fusing without filler?

 

That is how I generally tack the pieces. No as far as fusing the whole seam though. I just don't feel that I can achieve full underside fusion, before the edges burn away. Without the filler to cool the puddle.

With a portion of material not subjected to the environment that these exhaust components are, and more improvement of my skill, autogenous welding could prove to be a viable style. Aside from just the tacks.

 

Something old and something new.

 

Yep, it's a fine line.

Lookin good, them are some purdy welds! Maybe someday I'll get my tig machine goin....

 

I am still very much a student, and keep trying things a little differently. Getting better every time.

Get after it man!

 

Im curious to see how @Jon64l 's flanges turn out. Might be switching from the CX kit. Will be a good excuse to use that dusty metal melter.

 

so just a few tips from just looking at your welds. slow down. your also running too hot. what size filler are you using? what amps are you running at? looks like gas coverage isnt a issue.
