Which Ebay Brand/Seller for O2 Housing

So I'd like to invest my $85 in one of these Ebay O2 housings. Which brand, or seller have people had good results with.

I know Dave Buschur got a deal on his and made great power.

I want to see track results before I believe all the hype, if its true then I will be first to pick one up, I just hate it cause so many things get all hyped up and people go to the track and trap the same as people do without the particular mod.

I'm selling my Ebay o2 housing right now for $70 Shipped. It is still in good condition and the bolts line up.(All of the ones I've heard of plus mine, do not line up with the turbo.

When you order the O2 housing do you get the one that come with new bolts and gaskets (as show in ebay pics) or the one pic'ed without the bolts ?

Dave,

Do you feel that the ebay 02 housing you sell will hold up over time providing the manifold remains stock?

How do you know this to be a fact?

I can believe they all look the same on the outside, but that wouldn't tell you the quality of the welds, materials, etc. Sort of like comparing an AMS FMIC to the Ebay version -- they look the same on the surface, but...

Also, okevolutionVIII above posted that the ebay O2s he's seen often have fitment problems. The Helix that I have didn't have any such problem. It fit as well as the stocker.

Maybe they are the same and I got lucky? Just wondering where this information came from.
