Do you think thats restricting flow? Ill try it.

The Muffler Mend is starting to harden (supposed to leave it overnight) and it seems pretty damn hard.

dewelding even a thin bead can be a bitch.. it's called you have to grind that ---- off with a grinder.. probably scar your ---- up. I would do that if you weren't planning on taking it back apart.

well try and ride with what u got right now.. your next options are either having the surfaces decked or having it all welded shut.

You need to think about it tomorrow night.

I only said that cause that ---- you greased on there today will be done by tomorrow night.. so when it blows out after you crank it tomorrow night you'll have to think of your options. I don't really care what you do or what time you goto bed.. I'm not telling you to do anything but I know for sure that tomorrow evening you'll be thinking about the next move you want to make.

No, not on the adapter to turbo side.

But anyway, we found the problem. I took it down to have the leak welded and it wasnt leaking at the time. He was busy so he said come back in half an hour if I wanted it done anyway. So in the meantime I took it to a performance shop and he thought I was running on 3 cyl because of the sound it was making. He checked the injectors and #4 wasnt getting power. They said that it wasnt making enough power to spool the turbo, so once I get that fixed, it should be ok.
