Works O2 housing installed/review

Hi everyone, I am all smilely today, I am happy with the Works O2 housing installation and quality. This piece is very strong and very well made, every single part lines up perfectly.

Installation is a PITA but is worth in my opinion, I personally choose to drop the entire turbo assembly then proceed to swapp housings.

Let me give you and advise, this o2 housing WILL NOT WORK on all downpipes, you have to make sure your downpipe is a true 3" in diamater and even like that is not guaranty that it will fit the o2 housing because the outlet diameter is a full 3".

Since I already had the Works Downpipe which is a true 3" this 02 housing fits like a glove.

These products are in the high end of the price range, I personally paid $349 for the Downpipe and some $400 ish for the o2 housing, I know it is way more than any other competitor you don't have to tell me I have a $139Downpipe on my other Evo and I can get a Ebay 02 hosuing for $70 on Ebay but don't cut corners Works is offering a full line of top quality products and to me is worth the expenses.

Also I received a set of oem Mitsubishi metal gaskets and the shipping container from Works was great and they shipped my stuff very fast. Overall great customer service. They even honored me some special rate they were offering over a year ago.

Two thumbs up!! Now lets wait for the dyno.

Perfect fittment. I drove the car with Ray(rraulston) which owns a 450whp Evo and he told me the car felt very fast. I was holding 28psi with the A/C on and 100 plus degrees in the Tucson desert and 2 people.

I have to do some more testing on the spool up. I just came back from Ray's house and I am tired by I will give some more feedback later. Keep in mind my car is going back to the dyno possibly tomorrow.
