Hi All, Just wondering...
Where the join in between in bend and the straight a little bit of weld has blown through the gap and i am worried about it breaking off and going through my turbo... OUCH!
Have you got any suggestions of filing them down. Some of them are deep down the pipe. I have enquired about a bendy fitting for a die grinder but that is over $100 and I will do it if it my only way. Suggestions?
C'mon kids gather round,
there's a new sensation hitting town,
It's moving straight, low to the ground,
it'll pick you up when your feeling down.
we usally get it sand blasted down through the pipe after welding

I agree with Adam . Bead blast the pipes down the inside . After this , if it is still a concern , don't take a chance on destroying your turbo . Just recut the pipe at the welded join , clean out the debries and reweld again . Sounds like a bit more work I know , but it may save you a lot of headaches down the track .....

You could try using a long screw driver or a long big of steel sharpened up and a hammer it may knock off easy or you can blend it smoother by chisling it off
Or you could weld a rotary grinding burr onto a long 1/4" piece of rod to fit into your die grinder spindle and get n there that way to grind the "dags " off
if it does break off while the turbo is running you can bet it will destroy the turbine wheel
