Hey guys, got some quick pics and a video.

You'll have to forgive my friend's commentary, he likes borat....I do too, lol.

I'll get some better shots and a longer vid, just wanted to get some quick stuff up on the board.

It can all be found here.

so is it bad that it's actually touching the radiator?

 

not me thinks ! engine rocks about quite a bit

 

probably not a good thing. your so close now your heating up the radiator and coolant inside, instead of cooling it. besides the fact your going to be wearing into the radiator itself when the engine moves

 

Put about 150 miles on the car this weekend and all is well.
The 02 housing does not seem to heat up the radiator or coolant as some have suggested they might being so close to the radiator. Coolant temp stayed exactly where it should all day. And I don't even have a radiator fan so you really don't have anything to worry about. It was about 70-80* this weekend when I was driving around.

And its making great power so far. Just started re-tunning the car after having been down for a while with clutch problems and according to data log lab I am making 395HP on pump gas, thats about 10HP more than I ever made with my old 02 Housing.

 

I imagine if you have the big Koyo radiator, this O2 housing can dent it ..

 

I have no idea. I don't have a KOYO radiator and I have never seen anyone who does. To be honest, if you have a really big radiator you probably wont be able to fit any dump tube. The turbo is already so close to the stock radiator it doesn't leave that much room for a dump tube, let alone a thicker radiator.

 

dam right

 

I love this piece... have it on my 8 and love it

 

If you are talking autocross, the exhaust must exit out the side of the bodywork OR behind the driver. . . .
