haha, yes this thread has been dead for over a year. The Invidia does NOT outflow the Ebay housing, if it did it would outperform it and it did not. Now, if you truly believe they do, I'll sell you one very cheap, I have the one I tested that I have tried to sell for a year. How's $100 sound?

still on the waiting list for my BR/eBay SS o2 housing, they've been on back order for ever! Are the Megan o2 housings 'the' one to get?

It will outflow the ebay housing until the airflow gets all jammed up into the housing itself like a hurricane and doesn't know which way to flow with its retarded divider design.

Its garbage.

it's not just the bolt. But you need to sand down or cut one of them short. Also the fking o2 sensor have been moved to a difference angle so you need to extend or yank your o2 wire. to me it's a POS. I have dyno invidia 02 vs Ebay or megan on the same car. I don't care if the invidia flow better. The dyno show loss of TQ and who. so in the end ebay/megan FTMW

Is this the infamous "ebay o2" everybody is talking about.

I read somewhere else that there were 2 different o2 housings form ebay: one was good, the other was junk.

can somebody varify this?

That doesn't look like the one we were buying. As far as I know right now the "good ones" are on back order from everywhere. Right now we have about 40 of them back ordered and they have been for sometime.

I believe the "good ones" kind of just vanished, becuase a friend of mine has been trying to get one for sometime with no avail.

Also how does the megan 02 housing compare to the "good" ebay 02 housing.

David, I've been waiting on mine from you for about 10 weeks now, and I 100% get the fact that its not your fault, but I'm really looking for an alternative. At this point I'd even pay more for a unit, as long as it was at least as reliable as 'the ones' and made the same power. Whether it's a Megan unit, DNP (anyone have any dyno data on these?), or *hint* *hint* *hint* something that Buschur Racing built, I'm semi impartial....
