?? on modding ebpv

I posted this in another thread but I figured I'd start a new one. Is it possible to just weld up the hole where the rod goes through,put the end cap in and weld that and take the solenoid out and cap that then weld it? I'm concerned that if I cut the cylinder off and weld it up I won't get enough oil to the turbo.Thoughts??

There is no worry about oil for the turbo by cutting off the barrel. Mine is done that way as well as countless others. Besides you know that pedestal bolt your other thread was talking about being impossible to get to.....It is really easy to get to with the barrel cut off.

So the oil passages inside the barrel are of no concern? What was done with the solenoid?
