External wastegate & CS downpipe repaired
well, i've taken the external system to a totally different welder this time around & found a good few things needing to be repaired, 2 cracked welds on the corksport downpipe were ground & retig'd & the wastegate tube was welded with mallable mild filler to decrease strain & promote some movement during expansion.
the flange was repaired & the tube was also reattached to the CS system.
all in all the system is once again 150% solid & not going to leak for a good long time.
Examine your CS downpipes for cracks if you've put them through extensive beatings theres a good chance it will crack around the welds.

tell them i have a mandrel U bend & another flange for making the pipe going up from the CS Downpipe.
BTW, i just ran out & tested this.... it does fit with unaltered stock radiator brackets.... if you slot the holes you can increase your saftey-zone even more.
