I need help to choose the right welder for me. I am big into motorsports, and do any kind of engine work as a hobby. I work alot with turbos and such. But welding has been my weak point because I know nothing about it. I know the basic differences between a mig and a tig, just seeing what the machine shops do for me, but now I want to get into it. Ive been looking at the small 115v units because I am a student in college that basically is pretty broke 
Ive been talking to a few people about this and what I am afraid of is I will get so far with my projects and not be able to weld some things because I am underpowered. So I have taken the initiative to get a credit card and smack a nice welder that wont become obsolete in my future projects.
I wont be using this all the time, but just for projects. I do alot of them too. The things I will be doing is turbo downpipes, turbine engines, and maybe some framework (automotive). From what I have seen, I think a mig is what I need... but as far as size and wiring up the electricity in my home garage for it I am not sure. Or should I do a tig?
I realize it might be harder to learn on a higher skilled lever welder, but Im devoted and Im willing to give it a shot. I rather take a year to learn an advanced welder rather than in a year figure out I should have bought a better welder.
Please help me out,
Shawn
