Default Aluminum welds?
Can this only be done by a tig welder? Any shop in the 757 that can do this fairly cheap, just a bov flange...

on jefferson go to auto muffler king and ask for Keven (yeah its spelled like that) told him MR2 josh sent you, he is sick at welding. I direct all my friends to him and they are surprised at how cheap it is and the best welding i have seen around here.
