has anyone gone from one to the other?

 

I am ready to buy one of these too and am also wondering....

 

Looks the same as the eBay one but just more $$$. Looks SCARILY similar...

 

invidia have that best build/quality.

 

I had the Helix then returned it, now I have the Invidia which I got Swain coated. Can't be happier!

 

i read that the O2 sensor hole in the invidia piece is in a different place, causing the O2 sensor to be stretched a bit tight.......please comment invidia O2 housing owners, thx!

 

Did you actually FEEL a gain?

 

ebay 02 housing for bang for buck.

 

YOU ARE RIGHT, IT WILL EXTEND YOUR O2 SENSOR WIRE A LITTLE. IT WILL STILL FIT.

 

mucho gracias!

 

Would get one, but I'm afraid of all the boost creep issues I've read thus far from owners who have one...

 

I really can't say bacause at the same time I had my exhaust manfold and 272's installed and tuned. So with everything YES I felt alot

 

Keep in mind material / build quality is important when selecting an 02 housing. The ebay and the Helix one may look similar, but in terms of reliability and durability there are substantial differences. Personally I'd stay away from the knock-off products if you're talking about a $50-$75 difference and a long install time.

As for performance gains, you will see a few wheel HP gain with the larger 02 housings and an increase in boost response and turbo spoolup.

Back to back testing has been done. Starting a new topic for the testing.
