I'm trying to gauge interest in a o2 housing that would fit an external gate. I know QPR used to sell these. Were they popular? Is there any interest in something like this? I'm having someone make me one, and I want to know if I'm the only person that thinks this is a good alternative to buying a different manifold.

Here is an example:

They are good if you want to go external, otherwise I would just stick with the 2G style. QPR made mine when I had my old car and it was nice, but I dont think I would go that route again because my stock fans werent usable because the tial sat on the radiator almost...

They sure are pretty though.

Ha, that's something I'll have to keep an eye on.

Thanks

A bunch of places have been making those things for quite a while.

I had something similar except mine dumped externally.

I've got the same thing. I had it made years ago. My wastegate merges back into the pipe farther downstream though. Less restriction.

The first one Mike made was for us but we don't have it anymore. It made us have to get rid of power steering though.
