eBay O2 housing problem

So i've been hearing a loud screamin noise when i hit boost in my RS. Didnt sound normal although it sounded pretty cool. I decided to check it out and i have 2 bolts missing! So i decided to slap on my invidia dp but i ran into a problem, the gasket space out the dp by like 1/2 an inch to an inch. Also the O2 housing seem like it needs a double end bolt because it doesnt seem to have thread on the O2 housing.

Is there a different gasket that i should use?

You need to get yourself a new 02 housing...

Where are the spring bolts?

Can you get a pic form the top?

Why does the second pic look like the DP bolt was screwed in from the top of the o2 housing

And yes, the first pic has the bolt totally missing.

looks like your bolts just backed out. Get some bolts, tighten them in well and use a crush washer to help hold it in place. It'll work well and stay in. Definitely take care of it though. It's a big exhaust leak and i've actually seen it cause issues with radiators/fans.

good luck, buddy.

Yeah i got the car like that, the o2 housing seems like i it wont hold up the oem bolt if i did purchase those because the o2 holes look like its stripped out. Also does the oem gasket normally give the dp the flush fit? because on mines it seem slike it is not letting it mount nicely into it.

get a tap tool and retap the threads. It'll help to make sure you have good threads to bolt into.
