I was wondering how much power the 10.5 hot side added for you guys over there in Cally? And would adding the 02 housing add more?
Buschur just did a test on a Megan Style 02 housing and it kicked but, I am hoping this would do more.

- If you want every single last drop of power out of the stock turbo, buy it.
- If you are goung to run alcohol/water/meth injection and run 25-27psi, buy it.
- If you plan on installing a TME or WR, buy it.
This thing is just too hard to install for the average guy to do a before and after dyno run with this being the only part that changes.
- And even if they did, it would partially be dependent on the skill of the tuner reprogramming the EMS after the mod.
- And how well was it tuned before the mod?
We're probably gonna have to wait for Works to dyno it themselves, and then if it works really well and makes like 10-12hp, no one will believe them.
It's a tough spot to be in.

So far, 100% of the local crowd has been installing multiple components and we haven't had the opportunity to do before/after testing with any of them. The next batch should be arriving soon and we hope to get some proper testing done then.
In the end, it's not about the numbers, it's how the car feels on the road. I can tell you on my setup above, spool remained virtually the same (no better, no worse) and can't say it did much down low. But up top (say 5K+), it pulled significantly harder.

I got mine back from HPC and it looks GREAT! If I could find the charger for my digital cam I'd post some pics. I'll see what I can do.
Jamie,
How soon do you think the O2 3inch housings will be in?
Thanks

Some of you may find this interesting:
Stock O2 housing: 6.9 lbs. WORKS O2 housing: 6.8 lbs. BTW that's the ceramic-coated version.
