I would suggest installing an aftermarket 02 housing when you install the tbe...you will see some nice gains...I am a big fan of 02 dumps...check out Toxicfab's 02 dump...great quality piece and excellent fitment...

alright thanks man!! i have a buddy who can hook me up with evo parts and he's got a megan racing o2 housing...whats the word on those?

 

Megan is alright...I had a Megan on my car at one point, I quickly took it off for an 02 dump...If you go with a Megan I suggest porting the inside, especially the wastegate side, they are known to have boost creep issues unported...

 

ok...money's a little tight how much labor do you think that is?? :/

 

MAPerformance sells a nice O2 housing http://www.maperformance.com/map-tur...p-o2h-evo.html
I got this when I broke a bolt in my stock O2 when taking off the DP. I was going to go with their O2 Dump, but my car is my DD and it gets a lot of attention when I go WOT. O2 Dump will make it pretty darn loud!!! I actually I really wanted to get it, but after going over the pros and cons it just makes sense for me not to have it. Just my 2 cents. BTW, I did notice a slight gain in hp, but not earth shattering.
I agree with 06MREvo, you should definitely change it when you do the DP. And ToxicFab's O2 Dump pipe is SICK!!! Now I'm talking myself into getting one. Great!

 

All depends on how they install it, how small their hands are, haha...remove the exh. mani, remove the exh. mani & hotside, pull the turbo or do it with everything on the car...With how many miles that are on your car it may be easier to pull the turbo to do it because some of the bolts may be a bi*ch to get loose...I would say around 3 hrs labor, give some shops a call by you...

 

ya all i'm doing it the o2 housing i don't thing the o2 dump would be the thing for me considering i have 2 exhibition driving in 6 days with how loud my car is....

 

02 dump will only be loud at WOT and 15psi or so...otherwise during normal DD you won't hear it...Toxicfab 02 dump is my 4th 02 dump and by far the best quality and fitment...before this I've had an EPM dump, MAP dump & Shearer...

 

but whats the difference between the dump and o2 housing then?

 

An external dump routes the wastegaste gasses straight to atmosphere and is incredibly irritating at WOT, I owned one once and never again...not on a street car or track car.

A ceramic coated Megan o2 housing is a great proven setup, otherwise there are plenty of good recirculated options available. If you're doing it at the same time as a TBE you might as well consider an o2 elim downpipe.

 

so the tbe comes with a downpipe?

 

I don't want to turn your thread into a recirc 02 vs. a dump so do some searching...there is a lot of good info on here...some people say there are no gains with a dump and some say 20whp...02 dumps aren't for anyone but they don't bother me at all...I don't drive my car WOT everywhere...I look at it this way, if your car has a 3 inch tbe with a test pipe it is going to be loud at WOT anyway, so the added noise from an 02 dump really isn't that big of a deal...

 

thanks for the input i appreciate everyone's help and feedback!!! I'll see how much it is to get that ported but i think the TBE and O2 housing should be a go again thanks for all the help

 

k turns out i was wrong. it's just cat back. so o2 housing and cat back ok??
