Just looking into making up adapter plates for Jakes TD04L and I have a few questions to ask....
1. Is the turbo hotside/manifold/exhaust elbow all cast steel or cast iron?
2. Can you weld normal steel plate to either of the above?
3. People who have fitted non standard turbos - have you made your adapter plates so that they bolt to the turbo, then also bolt to the manifold? (My idea being, weld a steel plate to the manifold, then just bolt it up to the turbo, and weld a steel plate to exhaust elbow and just bolt that to the turbo.
Complete welding noob so be gentle :geek:
Cheers
