MR performs with such stock like feel, it's really a wonderful investment, personally I run a Hallman Pro RX with the MR diverter valve and experience zero taper

Tyler-

I just asked Pete this past Tuesday when I was up at the shop for one of the MR diverter valves so if you've found a source put my name on one and I'll call you on Monday.

Thanks
Rick

Yes, the MR housing and the 10.5 housing have different flappers.. you can swap the housings on the turbos though since the MR Housing (I was told) is also a 10.5.. However due to the difference in the wastegate flapper desing, the O2 housing is also probably slightly different (At least they looked slightly different on the mating surfaces from the pictures I've seen..

I had access to purchase a few MR housings, but I had chose not to simply because of the uncertaintly of the O2 housing.. The truth is we won't really know until the cars become available and people start upgrading components. To be honest, I hope people keep their MR's stock and not tear into them like we have with the Evo's and RS's..

Malibu Jack...

Why do you think people should not mess with the MR?

Hmm.. interesting. Do you think we could just port our current o2 housings to clear the different style flapper valve? It doesn't look like the valves protrude too much past the turbine housing.

The 1g valve is similar in construction to the MR valve. However, the area of the MR valve is quite a bit bigger than the 1g valve. The 1g valve also needs to be crushed slightly to hold more boost.
