2nd coke can test on downpipe
The factory and aftermartket 02 housings have a machined lip on them that stick out about a 1/2", this lip fits INSIDE our downpipe flange to make a seal between the two parts. This means using the fat donut gasket is not needed.

I know Im quoting myself here but could someone please tell me why Forced Peformance (who sells both 3 and 2.5 inch 02s) would write this on their website. Its killing me
FYI the RNR setup was a SCAM.. I was actually in cali and visited their shop. Called them over a week in advance to make my 3 INCH 02 ELIN DP SETUP and when I got there they had a ebay 02 and 3 inch DP waiting for me THAT DOES NOT FIT. Now they want me to pay them 100 collateral to send me a new DP that probably wont fit either.. I will be doing a write up on this.

The problem is that it doesnt reuse the stock donut gasket, so it has to have a 2.5 inch inlet in its flat flange inlet. The 3" piping is closed off by this 3" inlet. Then it comes throught the inlet and has a sudden expansion up to 3". Like putting a 2.5" restrictor in a 3" pipe and the begining.
In the past, DB has always said the bigger the exhaust the better. I think he still holds to this theory. If so, then the bigger the exhaust the better the turbo response and engine VE.
RNR made something similiar before, dont know if they still do. The made a 3" O2 housing eliminator kit/dp combo. This does give the best flow, whether you choose to believe it or not. The whole Coke can thing, was a test developed by your Tuner. If your search back in the begining of this thread you will find the link where he promoted the Buschur TBE by saying it passed the Beer can test. He discredited others because they didnt pass the test. That is the humor in this light hearted thread so far.

I got my Ebay 02 back in December for $50 SHIPPED! Those were the days...

i would really like to see this test that d/b said he would do. the works o2 housing to the ebay o2 housing. this is what half this forum has ben waiting for. i think someone should start a thread for this and send the o2 housing to david and let him do the work.

Any experts want to share their thoughts on the chambered and separate wg and exhaust ports versus the Works non separated chambers?
I suspect the engineers at Mitsu separated the wg port chanber from the exhaust chamber for a reason. The aftermarket tubular ones on the market are all chambered from what I have seen.

here are some pics (sorry they are blurry the camera has to be set on low res for this site) of an Ebay O2 from ssautochrome. I am waiting to put it on the car (the motor is blown for those who do not frequent this site)

Wasnt there a post or excerpt by Garrett that said the biggest problem with an internally gated waste-gate (as oppossed to an external waste-gate) was the reintroduction of exhuast gasses to early in the exhast stream thus causing performance drawbacks?
