time to remove, jig & weld the manifold
slight cracking at the edge of the welds, also notice the warped turbo flange has been leaking at the front
removed
copper gasket from above, sides seal ok but front & rear slightly leaked
from below, can see where it leaks
turbine inlet looks ok
warped turbo flange
closer look at crack, looks like the old weld had just seperated from the cast iron
grinded the weld down
to make a jig of the mani for andy, cut afew square tubes
drilled & bolted to the turbo mani
cut a v-slot to form an L-support tube
and clamped the support
weld it tomorrow
