LOL Can you? YES Should you? YES

 

can i go next ?

 

I welded my turbo to the adaptor plate, then bolted the adapter plate to the manifld. worked fine.

 

i welded my friends sc61 to a love fab log because he kept having probs with the bolts shaking out and it would never hold. i did two tacks with super little to no penetration on each side of the mateing surface , just enough to keep some weight off the bolts and it solved the prob. we later had to take the two apart and i just used a hammer and a chizzle and knocked the tacks off. went very smooth.

 

as long as you dont go apeshit with it, you can cut/grind/break the welds later on. there is a small chance i have to do a tiny bit of welding to get my downpipe onto my exaust housing, but id really rather not

 

my manifold had the wrong flange for my turbo, and i couldnt be bothered buying a new flange. well one day I had a couple of drinks and welded the ---- out of the turbo to the manifold. one of the worst idea's ever, dont even know if the turbo is good because I've never had it mounted.

oh well, if it needs to come off it can be cut/grinded/machined off. ...but i wouldnt like to do that job.

 

If you ever need to replace the turbo you could just unbolt the exhaust housing and replace the center section and compressor, reusing the exhaust housing and manifold.

 

whos car was that on?

 

i don't know what's more of a sacrilidge, welding an sc61, a love fab mani, or both

 

my 1st set-up i had the turbo welded to the manifold....i didnt have any problems with it (i was lucky) but if you encounter any problems with your turbo....this would be a pain in the ***
