Comparing TIG to soldering is a joke, with tig, the workpeice, as well as the filler metal is all melted, soldering only melts the filler metal (solder) TIG is most like oxy/acet. welding more than anything else.

Re: Pictures of my twin turbo buildup
RealQuick, Im trying to help Will out as I have been in his shoes. Because your using slang and making up your own definitions thats not our fault! Like Will mentioned mig spatters NO MATTER WHAT!. There are ways to minimize it but it goes to spatter. I do MIG/TIG/OXY/Plasma and own all 4 forms! Now if you used a TIG you would truly see what I mean when I say no spatter! Ask any welder and he will say to master OXY before you master the art of TIG. For will I was recommending a solid roller so he could rev it higher, its not a matter of will it work, its a matter of is it ideal? But the word ideal is subjective, for him he may want a complete street car and the word solid means limited idle and higher maintenance.

the t-70's should spool under 4k rpm, and when shifting at 6800 rpm, i wont ever be under 4k rpm, so i see no need to go solid roller setup. The t-70 is still a small frame t4 turbo, and spools almost identical to a pt-61...as far as suspension, you are correct, thats gonna be a whole challenge all in itself

Re: Pictures of my twin turbo buildup
Soldering and Tig welding are similar? Have you ever used a TIG? I use TIG when a TIG is warranted, there are two different processes for two different things. To say that ones used when I dont want spatter on the floor is just plain stupid.

It was an analogy to show that you heat the piece up seperately and then add the metal filler for the weld. Similar to soldering. Arc and mig welding you cant heat up an area without laying metal down. Get it now?

Re: Pictures of my twin turbo buildup
well...to be more clear, flux core produces more spatter than true mig with gas shielding, any tig produces no spatter...but both forms of mig do, although with gas it is much less

Exactly.

Re: Pictures of my twin turbo buildup
But I didn't get any "spatter" on your hands... but its still spatter correct?

And TIG makes a high quality weld

Obviously with tig there is no spatter. As far as slang??? We have different definitions of spatter. I am not worried about whats on the floor after I lay a bead. I am more worried about how the piece looks.
