Turbo exhaust elbow
Turbo Mini Forums

just picked up mini t3 on mani's etc, and the elbow has had a hole in it at some point, possibly 3mm hole.

and someone has brassed it over, will this be ok ?

bearing in mind that the elbow with be getting ported out

gaz

Brazing will not be strong enough I think.

uhmm if it gets nice and toasty (red hot is known/common!) could the brazing not start to melt?

its been a long time since i brazed anything (year 11 at school! lol) and i cant remember how hot i had to get the brazed peiced to seperate them when i fooked up!

Brazing is not allowed for body repairs for an MOT now if that gives you an idea soontobe man

hmmmm, bad times.. did wonder about the heat, but that proves it.. cant be to hard to source another,

cheers guys

you could possible get it drilled out and a boss welded in there for a wideband. then you can just run the blanking plug in the boss.

i think fastcarl sells them. amoung others that i cant remember!
