I saw the exact opposite. Keep in mind my tests were done on my MD. At 38psi (FPBlack,BR2.0L) the megan outperformed any 02 housing I tested. All of which were on this graph. The WORKS was the worst. Maybe David can chime in here with his thoughts.

I do believe the Invidia is the best. But something tends to go down the ****ter with that 02 at high boost. Did see the Invidia was the best below 30psi and the worst above 35.I did test using GM 3 port and MBC.

How much loss did you see past 35? megan vs invidia?
&
How much power gain did you see after 35 from invidia to megan?

And how recently did you do the test?

Wait... First you say "the megan outperformed any 02 housing I tested", then you say "I do believe the Invidia is the best." That doesn't make sense.

Also, how and WHY are you using a GM 3port and MBC at the same time?? That also doesn't make sense

Next, did you port the WORKS or just test it out the box? IMO there is some important places that need a lil cleaning up/porting.

And, you last comment that its good at low boost and bad at high boost is really, umm silly, IMO.

Last, when DB did his testing between the WORKS/MEGAN/INVIDIA, they were all within 4hp and 3tq of each other. So I dont understand why everyone thinks the MEGAN "out performed" the WORKS and Invidia so much.

Were you able to add more timing or run more boost (without inducing knock) with any one vs another?

I think DBs testing didnt find a gain from the bigger outlet because on a smaller turbo (less then 50lbs), a 3" outlet may not be that much better then the 2.5". But I feel on bigger turbos (50-55lbs +), the bigger outlet can be beneficial.

Since the HTAGreen and BBK-F are both low 50lbs turbos, I dont know how beneficial the move to a 3" O2 from 2.5" O2 would be. You may or may not see gains from the bigger outlet.


Also, I should mention that this testing wasnt done to debunk DBs testing. I just kind happened. Then after the discussion of 3" vs 2.5" outlet came up in a current thread, I decide to post the info for everyone.
was this 02 housing buschur sells part of his testing (its what i run on my car), if you don't know off of the top of your head, i can do a search..

The WORKS housing held more boost and seemed to be the least knock prone out of the 3.

Yep thats the one we both tested. The Megan I used was a BR ported/coated version.

Why come in here and just spout that off?

Have you done testing to show the "EVO power mods O2 dump" is "above all"??

Also, if you want people to take you seriously, you should write in complete sentences.

Nice testing Jay, thanks for taking the time out. I believe Robert tested the FP Black on his car when it originally came out.
