Realizing I have to build a stainless section of exhaust that goes from the turbo to my existing aluminum downpipe, I needed to get my stainless welding under control. I have only done aluminum and that's what I learned on.
The past few attempts I tried earlier this year, I had nothing but terrible results with over heating the weld. Turns out it was a gas coverage issue with a leak I found at the torch (wrong size insulator).
I fixed the leak and did some practicing yesterday using a Fupa 12 cup. This is with no backpurge, 3/32" blue tungsten, 1/16 308l filler. No backburging as I still need to order the dual regulator.
I'm hoping to get the car fired up by next week with the new turbo setup.

Got the turbo outlet finished. Waiting for my dual regulator to arrive so i can backpurge it before fully welding.
Oil lines, wastegates then radiator next.
Does anyone have a trick for lining up vband flanges that do not have the male lip/female slot like the vibrant pieces?
