TITEK O2 Housing

Ok so i removed my exhaust manifold/turbo/o2 housing setup as one and while its out( it was removed bc i broke one of the bolts in the hotside from the manifold ) i was thinking of installing the TITEK O2 housing. Anyone have the O2housing installed? I never heard good OR bad things about it. The price seems ok. Any input?

I just bought a used one. By all accounts and through my research they make a top notch o2 housing.

The Titek O2 housing is said to be one of the best. Quality material, excellent welds, and no boost creep issues. I was going to pick up one myself. I've had the typical boost creep issues with my eBay O2

So would this be the same for the "Helix" o2 as well? I'd imagine so seeing as how they are identically the same.

How do you know you have boost creep issues or not? I don't think there's much of a difference since they are made the same except for the quality of the material and welds. maybe its a leak issue..

because there is a little hole inside the o2 housing that connect the exhaust and wastegate, in the ebay one the hole is real small so to correct this you just port it. the titek comes already with a big enough opening

I know this because when I'm in 4th or 5th gear and give the car full throttle the boost hits 21/22 psi and continues to climb until redline. The car never did this until I installed the eBay O2.
