my welder friend got a new plasma cutter and went crazy on a t25 wastegate flange and burnt a hole on the side. just wondering if i can have it brazed or welded shut and still use it. let me know what you think, tia.

 

NO. There is a rubber diaphram inside there that seals against the walls of the actuator. it's surely melted too.

ok thanks, thats what i figured. would it even be worth the time to maybe jb it shut and see if it works?

 

I would just get a new one...you can pick them up for pretty cheap on eBay...

 

true true, i guess im just a cheap ***
