Welding to the end tank can be done depends on how the intercooler was built from wat ive been told some intercoolers(usualy stockies) include some sort of glue and yea when u weld it the glue melts or somthing, just wat ive heard..

Can I weld my blow off valve onto the intercooler end tank? I figure functionally its exactly the same as being on a pipe, but I've never seen it done before.

bov works best closest to tb

What is the best way to prepare a alloy pipe for a silicon hose? A bead of weld, flaring the end, or a flare a cm from the end?

i wouldnt touch it

Just a couple of questions, I'm almost up to the stage of repiping my intercooler and need some opinions.
