I like to tack the bends together with a MIG while mocking the downpipe up on the engine. Once everything fits to my liking I have it TIG welded. The TIG yeilds nice looking, strong welds, and smaller profile welds.

quick question...
dubyaAye has the 5 bolt turbo and 5 bolt flange...
the turbo i purchased has a hole on the turbo...next to the compressor wheel...
probably for the internal wastegate....
can i just make my downpipe with the flange just covering the hole... ?
or
do i need to put a piece of metal to weld it closed
thanks

Re: (Scott - 93HB Si)
yep just cover it up and weld away. 3 in is a tight fit on there. you get pretty close to the edges, but you should be cool. i just migged mine up last week and for the hour my car ran, it worked great 
good luck
later
