Default Pin hole leak in intercooler

As I pulled into my hotel after a 8 hour drive to WGI to run HPDE the next 2 days I discovered a pin hole in my intercooler.

Dumped some stop leak in there and will monitor for the first run.

Any advice on other ways to repair well enough to get me through the next 2 days?

I've been told everything From Tig welding the hole to putting a small screw in it. Lol

Any help would be appreciated! I forked out 500 bucks for this and don't want to miss it!

My setup is in my signature.

I wouldn't put stop leak in the intercooler. I'd just have the hole welded

Lol @ stop leak in your ic ? I HOPE you mean radiator, in which case probably be ok.

If its your ic, you might have just screwed yourself, I wouldn't drive the car, you'll suck that stuff right through the motor.
