16V turbo installation pics...

I was definitely not happy when I found out the u-bends I ordered for my
nephew's turbo installation were aluminized. When you're tig welding it
makes is very difficult to see the weld puddle so you can't really tell what
you're doing. Welds came out not as good as I had hoped.

OTOH you can see what you're doing welding aluminum so if you can keep the
tungsten eletrode out of the weld puddle ;^) is comes out pretty good.

TIG welding equipment is more expensive, but I think you have a lot better
control with a tig so the welds look better.
