I guess I didn’t need to sleep on it. I’m going to fix it proper. And nothing to be sad about (Rktpwrd ). I’m glad I found it now while I have time to get it done.
It’s obvious from the one picture the amount of rust on the pipes. The one with the sharp bend in it has a soft spot as well - that’s the price for wrapping steel pipes. 3 years in wrap and they rust quickly, just a fact of life unfortunately in the turbo world. The correct solution is quality stainless pipes that won’t corrode, but stainless pipes have never been in the budget. It would require another tank for shielding gas, much more expensive flex joints (or double slip joints $$$).
I guess 3 years is long enough for $150 of materials.
I made this crappy setup for the ease of a single WG placement. I guess I’ll have to plumb in the WG properly as well - finally.
Regarding another piece of winter upgrades, the Treadstone IC doesn’t have typical chyna EBay IC mounts. So I have to have new mounts tig’d onto the new IC. I’ll post some pics once it’s ready for install.
