[chbot] May need help welding turbo water cooling feed pipe

[Robin Gilks]

Greetings

The wife's Saab 93 LPT has developed a pinhole leak in the water feed to
the turbo bearings. As far as I can see its steel (magnetic) 12mm o/d and
10mm i/d and about 200mm long with a compression fitting (olive) on one end
and a simple hose clamp at the other. The hole is about half way along it.

According to Wikipedia it's fitted with a Garrett GT2052s turbo for 0.5 bar
boost but I can't get a good view on any of the body of it to confirm that.

Anyone in the know as to whether this pipe is likely to be a generic part
for Garrett turbos?

If I can't find a replacement it will have to be welded - probably TIG or
brazed - I don't fancy my chances with my MIG (it's already got the one
hole in it!!) and that is where I may need to scrounge someone else's
expertise.

Cheers
