ok i'm bout to buy a turbo manifol for a real good price . it is a manifold from caviliar connection but the only problem is it has 2 cracks. on the collector tubes. the guy said it was stainless steel . can that be replaced by a exaust shop ? or do i need to find someone else?

This will be moved to the boost forum I'm sure of it. But any way sure you can get it welded but it will weaken the surrounding area and make it pron to cracking elsewhere.
If it were me I'd pass. Don't forget a turbo manifold tends to get a little hot and it holding the weight of the turbo so thats a lot of strain for something thats been re-welded.




Semper Fi SAINT. May you rest in peace.

well i just got off the phone with a local performance shop that specialize in custo turbo setups. he said that since the manifold is stainless steal he could fix it with a pretty good price. and brace it so it won't break again . i'm gonna go ahead and get it .

get it, fix it, then have it ceramic coated and it will never crack again.




I was a retard, and now I'm permanently banned.

Hell, I'd reweld it for you for nothing if you pay for shipping. And it will NEVER break again.

make sure he pre-heats it
make sure he gas purges it
and make sure he post heat-treats it.

If he does it right, it wont crack. trust me.
