So I'm looking into buying a used AMS 850r turbo kit but the O2 housing has a crack, But it's the older version without the v-band. My question is if the housing is not repairable due to the crack are there any other brands/housings that will fit or would I just be screwed and have to have one custom made?

Any help would be much appreciated.

 

Where is the crack? Maybe posting a picture would help. I see no reason why the crack cannot be re-welded and be good as new.

 

Bottom of the weld on the slip fit part that goes inside the other. I'm currently driving and on my phone. Not sure if I can post pics from here. Can send through text/email only at this point

 

Call AMS they sometimes stand behind their product if your lucky.

 

I Already did, since I would be the 2nd owner they said they wouldn't cover it :-(

 

I think it can be repaired good as new. Maybe have the person who is selling it try and reach out to AMS instead?

 

if we can re-weld it for you let us know-

cheers

I had no luck with my turbo's with them and I was first owner

CBRD will take care of U

 

He did already also, sorry for my typo. I would be the 3rd owner, he was the 2nd and called them and they told him he couldn't since he was the 2nd owner. 1st owner never mentioned the crack when it was sold supposedly, Either was shady or just didnt know it was there.

My friends a local welder so I will give that a try first. But thanks CBRD, you will be next on my list

 

Should be an easy fix for anyone that knows how to weld well.

 

Yeah I dropped it off last night, should be picking it up today or tomorrow at the latest

 

anytime!

 

That was fast

 

Yes, manifold looks good. Time to collect a few more parts then install it :-)

 

Here was the crack
