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
