KP_wag Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 That'll work mint, cheap too. You could MIG it, but it wouldnt be pretty (even with stainless wire) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest vvega Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 sweet, il ask a few questions.what sort of wall thickness should i be aiming for? Never touched a tig in my life so will get someone else to do it do you plan to build gusset in ... is the turbo gunna be indipendantly supported or hanging off the manifold tig is a interesting device ..... lots of people think they can and are good at it....most dont get route penetration and dont understand why purging is so important with stressed joins if you can get scedule bends then use them ... if all you can get is thin shit then you have to do it in a procedure or it will just fall to bits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest vvega Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 dont go there 44" = 1.12 meter long primarys its longer than most you buy you can shorten it though by upping the primary diameter /oversizing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KP_wag Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 er70 wire makes stanless turn brittle ..if you dont know dont post Errrr, I presume that was directed me. I do know and thats why I said it wouldnt be pretty. I wouldnt touch MIG for anything other than mild, unless I was building a boat...
