What is a recommended o2 housing for evo 8? How much power gains does that account for?

I heard Megan Racing one was pretty decent. Any other suggestions?

Megan is your best bet. You can have one of our local shops ceramic coat it for you as well.

Hopefully it's not your first mod, or you might gain about 1.253 hp.

I'd buy other things that may give you a better hp/$ ratio.

No, I have TBE and was looking to work my way up to the turbo.

What would make better gains? Ported stock exhaust manifold or a tubular turbo manifold?

Do a ported exhaust manifold and an o2 housing at the same time; you're pulling the exhaust manifold to get at the o2 housing anyway and they work very well together.

I've had a buschur o2 housing on my car for about 2 years now and its an awesome mod. All of the megan ones I've seen look identical, and the quality is great. Like hughes said, get it ceramic coated and get a good ported exhaust manifold at the same time. Very awesome mod.

What other mods do you currently have? Doing the o2 housing and ported manifold at this point are definitely good mods, esp if you have cams and a tune in store (IIRC).

Schweeet!! What is the benefit of this? How long does it take to do ceramic coating? Do you think I should try to find a stock manifold and then get it coated and then sell mine when I take it off?

Get the MAP Rev2 exhaust manifold, they have been carrying cores lately ;)

Ceramic coating will keep your underhood temps way down. They can do the manifold and o2 housing at the same time for ya.

I have Tanabe TBE, ebay LICP, intake, turboXS h34 BOV (currently looking for evo 9 BOV. This one is screwy at full load), MBC @ 23 PSI.

I am doing timing belt kit (pulleys and everything from mistibishi) within the next 2 weeks. I am looking for cams. I wanna do those at the same time as i do my timing belt. Perferably HKS 280's or something along those lines of aggressiveness without changing my valve train stuff. I was looking for the GSC S1 and see what those had in store. Those are about the same at the HKS 272's right?

Suggestions would be awesome!
