Driveshaft Shop - Technipulse. They claim they can "weld" aluminum to steel. I think they're just glueing them together. Probably buying JB Weld by the case

I have a aluminum after intercooler pipe, well i bought a blitz dd blow off valve and it only came with a steel flange..I was trying to see if i can weld that flange to my pipe with having to cut the pipe and use couplings to piece it together..
