So I'll be using a Tial external wastegate on my setup with a 14b and need to block up the internal gate. I know most people just tack weld it, and I've done that. But it still doesn't seal very well...I put a compressor behind it and can feel the air flow through the gaps pretty good. I can try to weld it totally shut but all I have is a crappy arc welder and I'm not that skilled. Otherwise I was going to try JB weld. Is this a possible fix or no? I've read that it's only heat resistant to 500F or so. Any input? Thanks!

Snot it shut with the arc welder. JB weld will melt.
