TIG welding is fun, but definitely more difficult than MIG welding for example. Putting together perfect welds takes time, patience, and practice. The latter clearly something that the guy in this video has as he’s fabricating an intake elbow to go onto a traditional carbureted intake manifold and allowing for an EFI style throttle body. If you’ve been to the drag races in the past couple years you’ve seen many of them either connected to the business end of a turbo or centrifugal supercharger. Watching it go together will not only show you what really pretty aluminum welding is all about, but also some tips and tricks.

There are several times where a trick that holds the part together or in place while tacking or welding is shown, and that’s as valuable to us as the demonstration of welding perfection. Check it out below.
