hey sledguy i weld up turbo pipes all day and i have had some experience with a peice of weld chewing up the turbine I'm just saying this because i saw your pipes were mig welded instead of tig welded and i know you've put alot of time into this project i'm just saying if you can clean up the weld on the inside of the pipe it's your best bet for you don't have to replace the charger.

Thats a good point to consider- I'm pretty sure that Sledguy and his guru's have a pretty good idea what they are doing. I had to do some MIG on my car, wish it could have been TIG...
