me too, i see people welding in short sleeve shirts all the time, every time ive even tack welded a small peice ive got a tan i geuss i burn easy....

 

so is it safe to weld pipe of that size with no filler?

 

i think its safe for that little ic piping
if it was a structural or a downpipe, i would add a cap pass over the fused root

 

in the diary and brewery industry all the .065 tubing we do is fused with no filler. There is no need for it

 

that engine bay looks good. ive done 2 VW set ups with air/water ic's and all the piping was exactly the same other than i welded a cast 90 onto the turbo instead of using a 90 coupler. looks good

ive never had a problem fusing mild/stainless intercooler piping (i usually use aluminum though)i use filler on exhaust work though.

Yes. No filler should be needed But you must "always" back purge stainless.

 

Nice work. At least you buffed one of the welds.
