Open Dump O2 Question
So, I just got rid of my old O2 housing and put a MUSE open dump O2 on my car. At idle and under driving it blows exhaust out of the dump. Is this normal? I don't recall my Talon doing this several years ago when I had one.

Correct, it would just cause an annoying exhaust "leak". A divided gasket would fix that. If you do not have a divided gasket you can also use the copper gasket spray stuff from any auto parts store. Spray a nice thick coat on the flange, let it sit for a minute or so & while its still tacky, bolt the 02 to the turbo. I haven't used a gasket in a while, just use the copper gasket spray.

Also, I will add I have had a fee people pm me with other o2's with the same problem, if the flange is not perfectly flat it will cause this problem even with a gasket.
