just a quick question could i weld my adapter plate to the turbo cus it has a leak and i dont know what else to do. its a t25 dsm on a hf manifold

Re: need help
 

sure you can weld it.
are you running gaskets now and it's leaking?

Re: need help
 

yeah running a gasket but it seems to be fucked up and i bought the turbo and the adapter plate was already on it from someone on here and it was all fucked to ---- even the wastegate was like hammered in now i got all that ---- fixed just need to figure out if i can weld it on there so it dont leak

Re: need help
 

Get some copper RTV :y

Re: need help
 

torch it, hammer it flat, then rtv or something similar

Re: need help
 

umm...i doubt that would work

Re: need help
 

yeha thats what i was thinking but i was just asking if i could weld the adapter plate to the turbo that all i need to know cus i saw it done in one of the turbo projects so im not sure. this picture is from the turbo projects that adam did on his hatch https://www.homemadeturbo.com/turbo_...-plate_2_P.jpg

Re: need help
 

how do you think that? ummmm.....room temp metal, not flat, cherry red metal and a sledge pretty close, and with some rtv or a gasket im pretty sure he would be fine.

MiroslavB : my guess is that you dont have an acetylene torch so weld it. just gonna suck when you want to swap out to another turbo or mani

Re: need help
 

hey thanx alot man i got nothing to worry about taiking it apart and ---- since i will be getting a whole new setup this winter so it dont matter to me just dont want it to leak cus my boost drops to about 5 to 6 pounds when it should be around 11 to 12 so its a preety bad leak and yeah
