Default welding! would this work?, need answer please!

righto in the middle of trying to make up an adaptor to fit my turbo to my standard n/a type manifold.

Took my car down to a mate who used to be a welder, he said the turbo flange i have and the stainless steel pipe i have will easily MIG but he's totally unsure about welding the stainless steel onto the cast manifold..

anyway i was thinking i would be better to get a stainless steel flange to fir the manifold and just get the whole thing MIG welded, but i wont be able to get a flange until the weekend or after.... so...

is the flange on a standard downpipe ok to weld onto the stainless steel?.. i mean i presume it's a mild steel flange?!

thanks a lot!

Unless he knows what he's doing, forget it. It ain't a straight forward job Migging even stainless to stainless

all i'm really asking is can the flange off the downpipe we MIG'd onto stainless steel?

he can weld no probs, that's what he did for a living but i forgot to ask him about the flange off the d/p

cheers.
