Remove rust from perrin up pipe up-pipe
Hello
I was doing some work on installing a CAI and I noticed a new part. I am the second owner of the car, with most of the work being done by the first owner. When I bought the car, I was under the impression that there was a stock up pipe or up-pipe (idk), that was gutted leading to the turbo. Low and behold, it's a perrin with the heat shield welded around it to make it look stock. I felt like I uncovered gold !!!! Now I can get the wastegate mounted into the perrin pipe, and probably do the welding myself. I was planning on purchasing a generic ebay one since I'm going to weld it, but since there's a perrin one sitting there I'll just do that. Anyways, here's a pic of it. It's covered in rust. It was completely covered, and I only got some of it off using aluminal polish. What can I use to get the rest off???

Not so much the snow, it's the tropical sea air that's the killer. I was trying to avoid an aggregate based medium like sand blasting, etc. Is there any type of chemical compound I can use with a rag????? Like CLR, calcium,lime, and rust.. CLR
All that white stuff in the back is lime from blasting down sand roads and trail hopping I'm not a welder, I took agriculture classes in high school and aced the welding section. I have a welder at home that I can use. However, I SUCKED at pipe welding... I kept burning through. I just can't keep pace over a round surface |
