Very interesting observation on Works 3" 02 housing

Unless you are positive about the 2.5" vs 3" housing I wouldn't make any comments. I believe the Works hosuing has not been tested independently yet and there is no other full 3" o2 housing yet(people claim the new invidia to be a 3" housing but it is not a 3" housing, almost though).
So sumarizing, to my understanding there are no such 2.5 vs 3" o2 housing comparisson made yet.

I am positive about my statements or I wouldnt have made them. I dont talk just to hear myself. This was pulled from the Invidia o2 housing thread...

Do you plan to use the stock unported housing as a baseline? Throw in the Ebay housing that you offer as well so you can get a same day/mod comparison.
Thanks David!

Here is a quote from Forced Performance: They tested 2.5 vs 3.0 on their GT30R at 27psi.
"540whp at 27psi has been recorded with the 2.5” housing. No compromise in power was measured with the 2.5” unit over the 3”
Thats with a GT30 turbine wheel... not a tiny TD05H...

I think it comes down to theory vs application. Regardless of what you believe, the opening to the downpipe of the Works is still the biggest on the market.
that said my personal opinion is that it doesn't really matter. you will not see an hp difference, just like you won't see an hp difference from the different flapper designs and just like how you get gains with the ebay o2 evn tho it's not a truly divorced design either. from what i understand the ebay style is just a flange and after that it's "open season".
the point is... with the larger o2s it's the OUTLET that matters. and that said the outlet matters because two flows coming together creates high pressure to expand such a high pressure zone will reduce the high pressure and then get you some more power.
