first off is this Mitec bran that I've never heard but the description and the duty cycle sounds awesome

second is this small Miller but i dont know if it is powerfull enough to weld turbo manifolds or even thick aluminum..........the price is right though

should i go with a trusted name or with the great value Mitec???

 

The miller isn't an AC machine you won't be able to do aluminum. You need an AC/DC machine.

 

and that mitech one is just some chinese junk, I would be very cautious about the claims made of it.

 

I say keep searching. You need a tig that will do ac and high frequency..

 

thanx for the info. what do you guys recommend for a good cheap tig?

 

Miller syncrowave 200 would be #1, and old 180sd miller, or the lincoln 185 or 225 tig machines. All are under 2000 new, and used 180 millers or 185 lincolns should be about 1200-1500 in good shape. With TIG, it's worth it to spend more.
