Good 02 housing?

Just wondering if this 02 housing is a good one?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=250173754948

or should I just go with the Megan 02 for a little more money?
Thanks

The original Ebay O2's were shown by DB to make the most power; however, a lot of the recent Ebay O2 housings have been poor imitations. IMHO, go with the Megan Racing O2, which i believe was identical to the original Ebay ones...

Megan Racing/BR/Ebay..............they are all the same for the most part. BR get's his off "ebay" and coats them. He's has said it multiple times.

There are the occasional ebay ones that looks like ****, spending the extra cash on a BR/MR 02 housing is worth it.

I think I picked up my MR 02 housing for $99.

I believe PPI is selling them coated by Swain for $125. I would purchase that one if I didn't have mine installed already.

Good luck.

I got an ebay one and while it works fine, the wastegate hole is smaller than a megan one- so if I try to runn off the wastegate(I did it as a test) I can't boost lower than 15psi from creep. But at 22psi no creep.

Be careful on which one that you purchase as some have o2 sensor located in a
place that makes it almost impossible to install/remove (like it interferes with a/c lines or compressor) The one pictured does not have that problem.
