My buddy is going to TIG and he literally said all the same concerns. He mentioned using a small diameter filler rod, having water to quench and put a lot of heat into the broken tab as opposed to the base unit.
I look at it this way. If it works... great. if not.. I found new units for 200. The compressor will definitely be welded so I can proceed with turbo mock.
A bump in the road.
I have some good news aside from that. My buddy that has the race car is upgrading his fuel system to handle 2k+ hp. He's going to give me a screaming deal on his -8 fuel, -8 to -6 y blocks and other AN lines. SO that alone will save me a lot of money.
