Can you weld broken CV fab race intercooler?

JB will work because the surface is so irregular and lends itself to 'lock'ing. Problem is what kind of force, especially twisting/bending force is applied to to the mounting ear. If it rattles it may fatigue the bond. Sudden loss of boost isn't a big deal since EB operates much of the time with no boost depending how you drive it.

JB will cost you a pittance. Try it, if it holds, great. Otherwise graduate to welding. Otherwise just buy a new one. They are hardly expensive.

I just re-looked at the photos. The piece is cast aluminum. I'm no welding expert but I think it might be like cast Iron to weld properly.

Welding cast aluminum is not an issue.

Any competent welder can take care of that no problem. $80 tops.

except you live in blue-collar town that has something that passes for an industrial base. He lives in Nevada which has no heavy industry to speak of, and prices are tantamount to California.
