WHOULD YOU ALL SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY. THIS ISNT A REP BATTLE, ITS A FUCKING AUTOMOTIVE RELATED THREAD. TAKE IT TO OFF TOPIC.
Back to the work at hand. Do you not understand what I am talking about OP? Anything upstream from the turbo has to be shielded on the inside of the welds. And judging by the BIG GLOPPY WELDS, the fitment wasnt very good, prior to welding wither, so how many pieces of mig wire missed the weld pool and get sent into the part, arced off and kept going? leaving some welding wire inside waiting to go through a turbo?
I dont care if thats free labor, free materials or what… its NOT a proper part anyway you look at it. If your friend is at all serious about working on cars and building things, he needs to take the time and do things CORRECTLY. While it seems like I am busting balls, my information about what he didnt do right, at all, is true and should be taken as it is. Tell him to listen to what I am saying and follow direction, the results will improve.
and that square manifold thing and the civic turbo setup… ohh my. Tell me thats cast iron migged to some mild steel square stock? :facepalm.
you already ranted on all that welding mumbo jumbo. it aint my car. My car is all SS. appreciate the CC but really in the tone you are ranting… makes you seem kinda like a dick and that it bothers you, especially now this is your second time ranting on the same shit. Let it go. No one compared their welds to yours.
