have you welded before? do you have access to a mig welder? good practice is just taking 2 uneven peices of metal and practicing. then check for penetration. ---

Give more info!!! If its the stock cast mani, use stick (mig would work). If you have a tubular SS mani, only tig it. ---

Your turbine housing is cast iron. I won’t go into detail about why you don’t want to weld that, but suffice to say it’s not a good idea for that joint (turbo to mani), and it probably won’t last. Which manifold are you using? ---

Why do you want to weld the turbo to the manifold?? Why not just tack the nuts and studs so they dont loosen off again… ---
