You could try epoxy resin, the two part stuff like Araldite. Thats a bit more heavy duty than superglue.

Re: Turbo help. Solder and Tubing guys step inside
If you wrap the solder tight enough, it won't take much to hold the tube and solder together. I admit, they are brittle joints, but they don't get a lot of action in the engine bay. If you rough up the surfaces with some finish grit sandpaper first, and are careful during assembly, it should work ok.

you could try to JB Weld it, though it might get a little messy

Re: Turbo help. Solder and Tubing guys step inside
thanks guys. like willimo suggested, i needed to rough up the surfaces first. the joint was just too "slick" for the glue to "grab"
