local welder

Hey,
My driver side stock header has cracked at the merge of the #5 and #3 primaries. It's causing my turbo to spool slow, my boost to spike at WOT (spikes to 20 then settles to 16) and causing me to go into KR at WOT.

I'm going to pull it and have it welded.

I ordered some header flange gaskets aand a turbo header mount gasket (figured I'd replace this too) from RJC and they said to have it TIG welded with inconel rod.

Know of any locals who I can go too?

I live near Lou's shop for point of reference.

Thanks!
Tim

Cool.
As soon as my gaskets get here, I'll pull the header and bring it over.
