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

[Robin Gilks]

I've looked at my goto place for parts (RockAuto) and generally Googling
not found anything - lots of rubber hoses but not the metal ones (or
standard Garrett pipes which all seem to have a banjo fitting, not
compression).
Any URLs gratefully received.
