Did not have much to do this weekend so I thought Id get cracking on the turbine/waste gate setup.
Will have to get a smaller waste gate as the 60mm Tial just will not fit the way I want it to..

Ok, so I am not as bad a welder as I thought I was ! Took the housing en alles to my welding supply company and spoke to the top welder there..Nice job he says..great I say..He did recommend a different grade filler and perhaps purging the inner housing.
Thats great but Ill simply clean up the after weld on the inner housing.
Said it was difficult to weld a 1.6mm tube to a 5mm stainless material successfully..

I personally know I have a lot of improvement ahead of me but overall , I feel ok !

Nate, post of the century bud !!!! :wink: :wink:
