going to have my dumptibe re tig-welded back onthe the flange it broke off of...Do you think it is possible they are going to be able to weld this back on without having to take the entire turbo and manifold off?

the pipe has movement since there is a flex pipe...i just didnt know if it was possible to have this welded back on without having to take anything off the car.

 

I think i can see there is a flex on the dump tube ???

 

yes there is a flex tube....if you dont do that it will crack from the stress..

this one cracked before my msd went bad...i had bad detonation and the unburned fuel was burning in exhaust making it suer hot....i had it re welded and new flex pipe. but they never re did the weld at that flange cause it looked fine...but started to crack sooon after.

till it finally broke off later today....im taking it to a shop 2mrw but i dont want to have to remove the whole turbo manifold and take it out to weld...

 

I was just makiing sure. Looks like the joint was under stress before it snapped. If you weld someting and hook it up with a twist or strain on it ,it will snapp.

Looks like in the pic the 90 was under some twist and it let go judging by the break marks.

I would push it over towards the WG and mark it in its natural postion and then grind them both flat and reweld.

Or take the 90 out and put in new 90 and flange.

 

It can be done, it wont be the nicest looking weld unless your welder is jam up. Because of the postion, plus making a butt weld behind a fillet weld. I would find out why your piping is in a bind first. The weld didnt break, the pipe couldnt handle the stress

 

Also on a side note thats 409 SS not 304SS i find the 409 not as strong as the 304. I just think the pipe was in a bind and got a few to many blast of 1500deg f of heat and just let go.
