I didnt want to spend $300 on an o2 housing so Im going to make my own.
Its going to be an O2/downpipe all in one.

2.5"vband clamp
3" U bend Pipe

This is what I needed a spare engine for and headbolts. Even tho I never got headbolts I zip tied the head to the block :)

First thing I did was chop up the Ubend. Then I tacked the cut piece to the Vband flange

(dont worry about that pipe where the wastegate goes. It came with the turbo and will not be going on my car. It was used for moch up and thats it)

And after all of that the Idea will not work. I forgot about the oil filter. I had no Idea that it stuck out as far as it does.
Next step is to order a different pipe that has a smaller radius(looks like it will work alot better).

Kind of a worthless thread as it didnt work but I will add more as I continue to make it.

Honestly, that's a hell of an idea, and it does look fun! Keep us updated with pics/info for sure!

You could get a farward facing oil filter housing.

Hey I told you to come and get the bolts you need foo! I have a bunch of them. Are you routing the wastegate back into the exhaust and no external dump?
