o2 Housing drilling...

Hello I just got this new 02 housing and I was reading that I just drill a bit of it where the WG goes or something on those lines to prevent boost creep..can anyone point me towards where I just dremel? thanks

Megan housing has a small opening where the wastegate side connects to the main part. Port that opening out and your boost creep will go away.

If you go this route becareful. This is the best method but be aware that it removes a lot of material quickly as well. The facility guys at my job let me use their air compressed grinder and the 02 housing came out beautifully.

I tried doing my buddies o2 housing with a dremmel and it took forever.
