Default Welding onto turbo exhaust housing.

Hey will i cause any problems by tacking (MIG) 2 nuts onto the scroll of my exhaust housing? Iam making up a heat shield and bolting it straight onto the housing seems the easiest as im pressed for room. It will be under ---- all load. It seems my engine bay got hot enough to set my firewall carpet a light lol. cheers

----, he needs to get a fire blanket too and put that under the carpet on the interior.
Temp solution - raise up the rear of the hood a little with some washers/nuts to let some of the hot air out and bring the temps down a little.

yes you can. will work even better if you heat the housing up first, weld it, then let it cool on its own.

Monster D forgot to capitalize, insert commas, a couple of apostrophes, and periods. You sir, have failed more than Punka.
