I think he means he either jbwelded it to the block or jbwelded it to the turbo. I can't say I blame him; I considered doing the same thing.
Until I calmed down and actually discovered where the leak was. I will second Hotrex on this one.

Re:Silicon on JB Weld.. work?
i did the exact same thing, cuz someone *cough* stealth *cough* didnt send me a l fitting from the turbo and i chopped off part of the metal that covers the braiding which in turn fucked up the seal between the straight fitting from the turbo, i did this cuz it would not clear and fit. and i tried a shitload of jb weld. it doesnt work, just bite the bullet and goto the store and buy what you need.

Yea stay away from the jb weld there, its not as good of a "sealant" as silicon if thats what ur asking, it gets harder but tends to leak easier. Silicon it if its a gasket area on the turbo ie drain flange. If not buy some fitting and new ----
