Hmmm, if that is Cast material, I have nickel rod for welding cast iron.
But that is a internal wastegate and it is under a lot of stress and heat.
Welding is only a temporary measure. A replacement flapper from a Turbo refitter might be your best bet. New is better than bandaids.
If you still want it welded, we can do it, got all the tools to grind and finish it and make it look nice.

Or....we weld it shut and you use a external wastegate.

 

If somebody is planning on attending but is unable to bring a 7, I'd like to bring both mine but my buddy is going to work the weekend and won't be able to come with us.

 

Aaron go home depot and pick up 2 new larger washers then cut out what's needed on ur turbo then weld on new larger washers so it seals 100%

Too easy

 

Irons are s4 t2 I believe... how do u tell between s4 /s5 t2?

 

See you guys tomorrow. I should be there around noon.

 

Thanks Jason! I'll head out and pick up some washers today.

Hoping to barrow a friend car so I can drive over tomorrow

 

Did you scribe the comp wheel and nut b4 removal? While your in there get a t3 Garrett rebuild kit .

 

Weather is looking good for tomorrow, gonna be a great day for a meet!
See ya guys tomorrow!

 

Is it cool to bring my dog? Small friendly chihuaua/jack russel mix He will be on a leash.

 

BTW I am looking for a TII S5 rear Iron if anyone has one.

 

Just got home from picking up the fender roller.

 

sounds like a savage death machine to me imo

 

Oh he is! Lol. Not.

 

Doesn't look like I'll make it. Working on cars in my own garage tomorrow.

 

Dog is good on a leash, got 2 cats but they will be in hiding with all the crowd.

 

I think im not going to make it this year, I work until 6. Unless if everyone is still around like 7 then ill make it lol

 

Ok, getting underway in an hour with my son. Boys day out!!! (no dog)

 

On the way. Be there in 2 hours or so!

 

Lloyd,
wanted to say thank you for such a wonderful time at the bbq. Once again a top notch gathering of great friends, had a wonderful time and really enjoyed the sit down and chat session we had. Also wanted to thank Chad(jhreg) for letting Shelly and I drive his car to the meet as my car has a blown engine. Can not wait to see You project completed and on the track.

 

Best meet of the year, of course. I took a few pics, I'll post later today.

 

Lloyd, thanks so much for keeping this going. I am so glad I could finally make it, now I know what I have been missing all these years. I will make it a point in life to make time to come up and visit. I'll get some pics from my son and post up as well.

Again thank you and your family for a wonderful day.

 

had a great time again! thanks for putting this on every year!

 

Yes the compressor wheel is already scribed.
Welding turned out great!
Going to purchase a turbo rebuild. Is every one certain it is a garret t3? The guys at Alamo called it a Hitachi so I just want to make sure before I but

Thank for having us Lloyd!

 

I know that the twins are Hitachis but not sure about the S5.

 

Love this shot, I'll upload my son's other photos later.
