so where would you guys take thise to get the welds reinforced, and how much would it usually cost.

one of my friends have a welder at his house, shoudl i just bring it by him and ask if he could patch it up a little, would that do the trick?

What about the turbos these guys make...ive heard nothing but a few bad reviews. im sure theres gotta be someone with good results out there or else these guys should be shutdown and outta business.

I did not reinforce the welds. A huge weld does not mean it is stronger. I took it too my welder with 30 years of experience...and he said...not necessary. The weld penetration looked good. The could have used a little more rod when they did the welding, but he didn't think there would be a problem. I've seen some pictures of "reinforced" welding...wholly crap...what a mess. Needs to be TIG and done with the correct rod/cover gas.

10k miles, 1+ year on the unreinforced manifold...no problems.

I did not get a turbo from them.

Reinforcement is not neeed if the puddles are accurate and no pinholes are sighted.
