Mine was welded with a Mig and SS Wire. It seems pretty strong, I lifted up one side of my car with the manifold. Don't Ask !!!

took a break during the winter, just too cold in the garage....... but it's starting to warm up now.
Fabbed up a radiator mount and got it installed. I'll get the adapter and electric waterpump installed next weekend. Rad is kinda close to the turbine, so I'll need to make a nice heat shield for the turbo.
