it will probably blow it out. you need to clamp it.
Make sure when you get to the exhaust shop, you put the turbo as high as you can before welding.

I agree that you will most likely blow it out. If you do clamp make sure you don't clamp to hard to where you bend the pipe to much or you will not be able to rotate it.

Clamp it together just don't go WOT on the way to the shop or you will be reinstalling it on the side of the road.

That might have been mine, it is all custom and while I was at it I just put a 3" header flange on both sides so it would come apart very easy if I ever needed to.
