for you people w/ ebay style O2 housings
how in the hell did you install your housing???
I worked on trying to take out my stock one for about 3 hours today and got nowhere
I tried following the how to's and so on but its not as easy as just unbolting the old one and bolting up the new one, what gives?
someone help me out so I can get this stupid thing on before my tune on saturday, Ill be working on it all day tomorrow until its done

I took my entire manifold and turbo when I did this (well I left the compressor side of the turbo on the car). I also upgraded to the 10.5 housing when I did the o2 housing. It really isnt that bad to pull the manifold off the car. Just pull the radiator out so you wont damage it. After that just loosen the vband clamp on the car and leave the compressor in the car and pull the hotside with the o2 housing attached. I think superhatch on here has a great how to if you want to look over it.

I guess I was on the right track, I had the manifold out but I couldnt get the hotside off after the v-clamp was taken off.
Can I spray wd-40 or pb blaster on the seam where the hotside and the turbine housing meet w/out hurting anything???
Well Im going to try again today, thanks for the help

Be very careful when you remove the hotside. The turbo fins bend easily!!!
