Will the real Ebay 02 housing please Stand Up? (video)
There is actually a thread on here from about a month ago stating that someone ordered theirs from that company and looked like crap.
Throughout the thread, people were saying that they ordered from them as well, but there 02 housing looked way different. Luck of the draw.
Order the one from TTP. I have mine in my garage with the rest of my parts. Going on next week.

Marlon, you're a star! LOL!
Al tuned my Evo yesterday down at The Shop, in Norwalk, CT (and also did my HKS cam install on the spot - you da man, bro!), with an SS Autochrome O2 housing on my Evo purchased off of eBay, and I made 352hp/351tq.
However, I will put a plug in for the Buschur version. I paid $60 for my O2 housing, and another $180 to have it coated. For $20 LESS, Buschur offers all that PLUS ports the part. If I'd realized how much coating it on my own would have cost me, I would have gone with the Buschur.
Thanks again to Al from Dynoflash, and Jim, Marlon, and the rest of the guys at The Shop. It was a great time, and leaving with 50-70 extra HP wasn't too bad, either!

This thread is useless without showing the size of the wastegate hole. I love how you bash e-bay junk and push how you should buy the same ebay junk from bushur and pad his wallet some 130 bucks. I bought the ssautochrome housing for 50$ shipped. Then had it ceramic coated for 20$. Thats 130 cheaper than buschur price for the same part.

Here is likely the same housing they are bashing. Although the hole looks small it as big as any 38mm wastegate hole and IS NOT A PROBLEM. if you had boost creep you have an issue elsewhere.

The hole was not shown clearly in the video (my error) maybe the customer can post a picture of it - it was less than 1" large

Sadly, you sir are 100% incorrect
In our diagnostic path - the adjusted and re-adjusted the wasatgate arm length
We boost leak tested the car
And we changed out the MBC
After changing the 02 housing back to stock one we not only picked up power - but also the boost problem disapareared 100% with no other changes

I have no idea which unit Buschur is using
However, I do know that the units he selected, tested and coated have worked with zero problems

www.cxracing.com does actually come up as a website. They are selling a T3/T4 Turbo for $259.00....... Full intercooler kits for $300 (Pipes and Intercooler).
Take a look at the site, this place has to be a rip off!

The mechanical world is a strange place. I cant tell you how many times I come across a mechanical problem that doesn't make sense. This 02 housing problem you had is no different.
Let see the pic of the hole before you bash my armchair mechanics.

I will bet you anything you are bashing the same one they sell.

I have held and examined the o2 housing that Buschur sells many many times - its a hevey gauge and well welded unit
This unit the customer brought was very lightweight almost like tin and the welds sucked and the holes in the welds were patched up by the customer's friend
I did not take a picture of the hole - maybe the customer will - or perhaps you want to buy it from him ?
