Ive had sucess with it in the past on dsms at like 20+ psi. Make sure you clean the area well beforehand.

I JB'd a 2g DSM... worked like a champ.

Then we cleaned the intercooler out with a cup of gasoline. Blew air in one end & lit the fumes coming out on the other... pretty rad.

I bought a side mount off a kid and it had a hole. I just welded it. Any local welder should be able to help you out.

Yeah but JBweld costs less than $5. 20 minus 5 is $15 left over for gas.
