I would go with invidia 02 housing.

I heard megan has some creep boost unless you port it.

id say no no no to that o2 housing, wastegate section looks like a horribly cut section of pipe wilded knto the exhaust section and if you look closely in the pics it looks they arent even divided so theres no point in it having two sections of pipe. and i noticed they didnt mention anything about flange thickness so its probably pretty thi to cut down on material cost so it will most likely warp under he intense heat its going to see and leak big time. IMHO get a megan racing one if your trying to save a few bucks ive never ran one personally (i have a jmfab o2dump) but i have heard decent reviews on it and at least it looks like a good quality piece, 46$ doesnt seem like a good enough deal to fight your car installing it just to do it again three months later when you need to replace it with a better quality one

Had a friend bring me one of those for installation and the build quality was horrible,he decided to get a Megan which was better designed and made and we had no problems with it,i would take a look at this one from Ebay,it looks very promising,also Invidia and Megan are good choices.

Invidia's didn't do well when we did our dyno test. I don't know who started marketing them but I'd never run one.

That housing looks like a child welded it together. I have an unused ceramic coated megan housing if interested.
