I spoke with them the week befor sema and I'm on the list to get one. They said to check with them on nov 15 they might have them ready to go by then. I've been waiting for 2 months now finally it'll be out. I'm still waiting on the works injection kit as well that way I can run a lot more boost with my whiterabbit

will this work with a turbo xs downpipe? It is made with a stock donut style gasket..

supposedly they made the downpipe in preperation for their o2 housing, so it should work...right?

I think it should work, but I am going to try it out in the future.

I've been looking at the turboXS downpipe to see if it will work as well. I thought I read a thread saying that they were gonna make a cast 3inch o2 housing as well. Did anybody elese hear about that? I think it will fit because of the type of gasket you have to use with there dp

I think the LPI 3" downpipe will fit as well as the TXS 3" downpipe (but don't quote me on that).

We had a few units rushed for those that pre-paid on their order. The remainder of the first batch should be coming in around the end of the month.

It's not easy. It's possible to install the O2 housing without removing the radiator but you risk radiator damage.

The best and correct method is to remove the complete turbo; the exhaust manifold is optional. This is the only way to get proper tools and tightening torque on the O2 housing. You won't see us doing it any other way than the RIGHT way for our customers.

It's also great time to upgrade to the 10.5 hotside for you 9.8 guys, or the WR turbo if you want even more.

We may have some data soon regarding the performance of the WORKS O2 Housing combined with the WR turbo shortly...

I asked this before but is the top flange from your downpipe and the donut gasket available for puchase with the housing?
