kyle's89quest Posted February 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) lol BOHO. Today, I tried out my tig welding for the first time since 2009, and made my sorry excuse of a turbo oil drain. Instead of buying one, i used about $50 worth of Matts electricity making this turd, lol.http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee368/kyles89quest/photobucket-4464-1329096653072.jpgAlso made room for the new intercooler.http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee368/kyles89quest/photobucket-3744-1329097805832.jpg Edited February 13, 2012 by kyle's89quest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
