Anyway, I promise you if you were to cap an end and put some pressure in the tube it'd leak. You've got pinholes everywhere. I am not criticizing you, just telling you that it'd be better to grind it downa nd run a proper MIG bead now rather than later. I've welded a few times
I had to use a gasless MIG (Flux core) wire feeder once and I layed a smoother pile of booger welds than what ya have picture, and that damned thing leaked so bad - I know it seems like you've "saturated it with metal" but its really just cracked and pin holed. Good luck with it though.

Do a test with air....cap one side close and put some air using a compressor or something. Some holes are small enough you won't see them, but they are there. Maybe even try water, see if it leaks out a little. It's better to check now than having to get it all out after it is done....
and where's the pics....post them up.

Re: finally started my turbo ----..
looking good man but definetaly do a leak test before you get it all setup, i used a stick welder on a couple of my pipes and ended up having massive leaks and using a coupler over the welds as a bandaid
