Are you using any special techniques to weld the stainless, I ahve heard alot about needing to seal off the end of the tubes and filling with argon while welding it to get proper penetration and make it easier to not burn through it.

 

Purge welding is a MUST. After all the pipes are proper the will be taken off the flange and one end will be capped. The other end will be capped with a special cap that alows my purge line in. If you don't it will crack and break as a best case scenerio. If you don't purge weld, then it leave a ton of oxidixed particles on the inside that will end up in the turbo. Probably killing it.

 

Hmm, sounds like fun

I cant wait to get a house so I can get a TIG welder and start playing

Very nice work, cant wait to see the finished product

 

where are you from???

 

(stainless) Steel city, Pittsburgh PA.

 

Nice work, should be a very sweet ride when you are done.

 

Pitts, where at? I live in Chippewa if you have heard of it. 25min North of Pitts. international.

 

been to Chippewa before. My cousin went to BCCC for air traffic controll. We partied up there. We're located in Carnegie

 

Cool, I know a handfull of people that went through ACT there. So is this truck at your shop?

 

thats going to be a fun one to weld!
what gauge stainless?

you can use tin foil as a cap as well (for back purging). little cheaper and easyer to use.
