Update:Need some Help with my build!!!

This is the original post https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...287&highlight=

Turns out i found what the problem was, my brand new sheet metal elbow that mates up to the victor jr series manifolds cracked right down the weld on one side. I figured thats how i could be loosing PSI lol. I have to find out who made it cause that shouldn't happen i didn't even drive it 500 miles lol. Must have been a bad weld.

Anyone know what i can do to patch the thing? have a welder re-weld it?? I really don't want to take it off the car.

^ yeah because in order to do a proper repair they should grind a grove in it where the crack is, in order to get better penatration.
