bolted on or not, the flange will still warp if you weld continuously. Weld little sections at a time and let it cool is what i've learned. Sucks because it takes so long but it prevents warping.

@cougarkid18 been using this method for about 6 years... hasn't failed me yet! but thx for the input

Nice job, I learning about TIG welding and I m also doing a down pipe, and i was wondering if i should tag weld first then take the turbo off and then finish welding or should I just leave it on like you have, I m just worrying about damaging the turbo.

Thanks

@thefavs the turbo sees more heat while in use than it does while welding on it. leave it bolted to prevent warping.

@calvinculpalt cool that helped

@thefavs You leave the flange bolted to the turbo till the material has cooled down. This prevents the flange from warping. You won't damage the turbo.
