The turbo does sit quite low on this particular set up since it was a b16 block so the oilpan is about 2" higher compared to a b18b block. The turbo sits high enough to have a good return line though.

 

What kind of tig are you working with?

 

I have a Miller Econotig, I love it Which one are you running?

 

We have a Miller Syncrowave 300 at the shop and I have an MT120 Plasma,TIG, ARC combo. The MT is a chinese unit I bought off ebay just for the plasma cutter portion but the tig on that little unit runs beads as well as the Miller does. For $600 you get the Plasma cutter, tig, and acr welder all in one. Unit is tiny and runs off 220v single phase. I am actually amazed how well it works. I still do my welding on the Miller but I can run the MT at home if I absolutely had to. Its hard to believe the plasma cutter cuts through such thick material. Just bought a new Miller XLi auto helmet. Can't wait to try it out. My new son takes up much of my time. I am hoping to resume throwing some mani's together next week.

 

cs- got a link to that 600 dollar tig combo unit ?

 

Heres the guy I got it from. I could hardly believe it worked as well as it did for $600. I figured if it cut or Tig'd it would be worth the money. It does both very well. Kevin is a good guy to deal with as well. He has answered all my questions promptly.
