badass! i cant wait to get one.
quick question thats a little off topic, your oil drain plug has a line running off of it. is that your oil feed for the turbo? if so that location looks a hell of alot easier to use then the way FP's oil line is run and you wouldnt have to use a TORCH to heat it up...

I really like this design of Chad's. I am not one to get excited about O2 housings and dumps, in general. I never have wanted a dump for my car. Not because I couldn't put up with the noise. I have had an open remote gate on other cars before...so I ain't gun shy. It's just that I never saw a dump, tubular O2, merged DP, etc., or otherwise, that I liked. Well, maybe Ernie's dump, but that's about it.
That being said, I really like Chad's merged O2. It looks so khool. Gotta have one. It's the first design that I ever liked. That's all. Good work!

This piece is awesome. Chad accomplished exactly what he wanted with this O2. Solid boost control, picked up a little power, and feels like it picked up a little response.
I agree with Chad's initial impression from our conversation when I picked up the car, there is a small increase in response that kinda feels like switching to a lightweight flywheel. The motor feels a little more responsive. It is def noticeable but a different feeling increase in response than what it picked up from going to the ball bearing BBK-B.
I feel this O2 combined with the BB BBK-B is a great setup and compliment eachother well. There was a lot of work that goes into making one of these and it ain't cheap, but it is a very well designed and beautifully made piece.
Thanks Chad, and Brent (you outdid yourself with this one), and Mark too!

as mentioned-
most of our design goals centered around the actual angle of the WG tube side and using an appropriate angle to allow the WG gases to exit---
from there is was being properly divided-
ours has a very shallow exit from the flange on both the turbine and WG-
we have had creep issues with quite a few of the o2 housing dumps on various turbo configurations- making it difficult for people to run low boost when they wanted too
3 of these on order already-
thanks everyone-
