Anyone on here in the edmonton area that can TIG weld?  I tapped my intercooler for my meth injection bung but i would really like to have it welded.

I know it is a bit of a drive for you Stu but the offer is still open. I know you like doing things yourself come down after a little practice you can do it yourself. I have taught many people over the years to weld. :) Maybe not B pressure certfied welds but more than ample for what you are doing :)

Thanks for the offer cam,  I might take you up on it,  I am just trying to get the intercooler sealed up.  I will definatly be down there to get the exhaust fabbed up once i get the $$ for the extra parts.  I would appreciate the oppurtunity to learn how to tig weld,  I have done a bit of stick, and mig welding.

tig is very easy once you get the coordination... although sometimes alum is a PITA...

and im sure cams alum welds look better than mine anyways...

Call Neil.  I had him weld in a new resonator into my midpipe.  It got a little messed up the first time, because I just brought him the midpipe(his request), and the midpipe ended up being too short.  However when I brought the car to him, he was able to measure everything up properly and tig it all back together.  He does nice welds too, as you can see on his web page.
