welding manifold still in place

[monka]

i have another crack appeared on my mani, i took it off last time to get welded but i was doing other things at the same time.

all it really needs is a couple of spot welds, can it be done it place with out any danger, as really dont wanna take it off again

if you can get to where it needs to be welded then it should be fine mate. may not get as good a weld as having it off but i assume you want to bodge it just for now?

As long as its accessible to get a good weld on its fine mate!

lovely, cheers guys, was just afraid of anything flaking off. lol

yeah it can be got to, a week ago it was craking along the weld, so had it welded, although it is now going across the pipe. so just need it welded quickly.

its only gotta last till i get the money spare for a power up kit

Is there a chance of any sparks or spots of weld falling into the manifold and causing damage to the turbo?

if the person welding doesnt know what they are doing then yes.
if you just patch over the crack and dont use too much heat then it should be fine
