Budget Turbo Yukon: Cold Side Fabrication and Hot Side Welding (Pipe Cutting & Layout Tips)

What happens here

The presenter performs a final test fit of all the charge pipes, ensuring they align correctly from the turbocharger to the intercooler and then to the throttle body. Once satisfactory, the pipes are tack welded in place to maintain their fitment.

Goal: Secure all charge pipes with tack welds after verifying fitment

Tools and materials

  • Charge Pipes — Final assembly and tack welding
  • Fronius MagicWave TIG Welder Fronius — Tack welding the pipes
  • Welding Gloves Vulcan — Protecting hands during tack welding
  • Welding Helmet Vizor — Protecting eyes during tack welding

until then pull this out get it tacked up so we can make sure it fits again before we finish well at home so let's do that now got this mofo all tacked up didn't show that on the time lapse because you just watched me well for a couple minutes anyway uh use your imagination let's get this in here see how it fits up now i know i've said before normally that you shouldn't have any like straight straight pieces in here and that's true but this thing is a little bit different it's just you know it's a bare-bones simple daily driver so it doesn't really matter to me if i use a straight piece at an angle if it fits i'm going to use it to save pipe because i'm going to use that pipe for something of more of like a show type quality like like the monte carlo or you know something like that and i apologize my hair is probably a disaster right now it's getting pretty long i need to get it cut but not the back part though just you know just up here trim this a little better get this on here verify fitment and then we'll go finish weld it everything fits it's all good it fits well enough that like these clamps aren't stressed either like these couplers a lot of times you see pipes don't really fit right they gotta like cheat it with the coupler bending um it's not that way here it's like it's very it's very very free which is good turbo is down it's not bolted down but i got a couple through bolts there it's just sitting on this flange i've checked everywhere made sure it's flush everything is good it's good we are ready to finish weld this thing right
