Unfortunately there's only one guy I trust with my car.
I'll give you a hint...
It's not the deuche bag at NTB that ruined my rims... It's not the *** at Biondi that didn't know how to bleed my brakes and sent me on my way with a pedal that hit the floor... And It wasn't the guy who took 4 hours to change my oil and got mad at me for trashing him on the JD Powers survey. (Got my oil changed at 1,000 miles. First time and last time the dealer does any maintenance)...
Ask Emily, she'll tell you. I have to take a bottle of Xanax and Klonopin with me every time I have to get my car worked on.
The person I speak of is myself. I don't care how good of a relationship you have with someone, NOBODY cares for your car like you do. But... unfortunately we all cannot do everything ourselves. Luckily we have guys with great reputations like Mike from Baierl.

If you're considering a whole turboback, consider your options for an O2 housing as well. Certain downpipes have issues with certain O2 housing I think.
The best modding advice I can offer is, "Always plan ahead. What you feel is good enough today will not be enough tomorrow." Don't ever build yourself into a corner. In other words, try to avoid at all costs, buying the same part twice.

I bought a new stock donut gasket. It still fits on the O2 housing. Trust me, it was driving me crazy trying to figure it out. The easiest way to describe what you're questioning is... The OD of the O2 housing doesn't change from stock to aftermarket. The ID changes. Get it??? Certain downpipes will not accomidate the stock donut gasket and you must use a regular gasket. Don't ask me how that works.

Good luck on a not-so-fun job. I noticed a big difference, but I did a ported manifold, went from a 9.8 to a 10.5 hotside, and O2 housing all at once. You should still see some improvements. Don't forget to spray everything tonight!
