Re: homemade thingy for turbo oil feed
yeah, i had talked to someone that i know can do it over the last little bit and i know you need to use a backside flux and either a stainless flux tig rod or special frontside flux. weld it in small portions at a time.

More info on stainless flux tig rod. I have never seen/heard of it?

there are lots of ER flux rods avalible. You just have to make sure the flux does not get under the weld post root-pass. They're used for root-passing pipe when a backpurge is not viable. ASME FTW.
R308LT1-5, R309LT1-5, R316LT1-5 & R347LT1-5
Same basic classifications as SFA-5.3 & 5.9, etc

Intersting.
So say I am welded schedule 40 pipe, instead of back purging, I could do a root pass with flux cored stainless rod?
And then do a weave pass with filler with regular 309 filler rod?

Also note that the backside should still be purged if it's in the HAZ.
