Noob welder(mig)
Just got this new mig welder a couple days ago( i helped out in a local garage for the day cause the dudes other mechanic called out and he gave me the mig as payment ;D )after messing around for an hour or 2 and basicly teaching myself me and my buddy (Towdogg) decided to give it a shot and actually make something out of a bunch of crap we had lying around

Re: Noob welder(mig)
Top mount will never spool.
Im pretty much positive because Ive done it before on a weak 16 with a h1c holset. No boost until 3rd gear. Then it took off. |
Re: Noob welder(mig)
well this is gonna be one of those trial and error things so ill try it out thanks though
|
Re: Noob welder(mig)
i think it might work though.....not to mention the size of this turbo it spools up when i move it across the room lol ;D .....it only looks big cause of the v-band
|
Re: Noob welder(mig)
It will spool

Re: Noob welder(mig)

Re: Noob welder(mig)
Didnt realize the turbo wasnt that big. The v band did throw me off.
I still wouldnt expect quick spool at all in lower gears though. Good luck, looks like something id build. And I have lol. |
