trying to find a good 02 housing for a PTE turbo.....

[Jason84]

well i didnt expect the turbo to be all machined out in the middle and was gonna go with a vented WG one... but i cant so im trying to find one that will work good with this that might be tottaly machined out in the middle or just a big 02 housing...

why cant you go with an o2 dump?

look @ the pic... the exhaust side is almost tottaly machined out and would probably screw up the flow alot.

nah, it wont screw it up. Lots of turbos come like that now. My rs49 has the divider cut, its not hogged out as much as urs tho. I was planning on running an o2 dump with it.

Hi,

You can get a nice tubular O2 housing from VPE or simular brands. They have them in 2.5 and 3" sizes. Checkout the link.

I have no idea how a dump tube will work on yours, but let me know if there's a difference. I believe they do the cut out to eliminate boost creep.

Do you even know what you are talking about? You cant run an o2 dump with a cut housing because it will be a constant exhaust leak.

I had the same problem with mine. I had the ebay ns industries o2 housing with the wg dump but when I got my pte, I ended up cuttin the dump tube off and rewelded it to recirculate back into the o2 housing. I can get a couple of pics later if you like. Actually, you could just run an evoIII o2 housing and you should be fine. Or you could get something like this

You can either run an internal WG O2 Housing that we make which will route all the gases back into the exhaust and keep you emissions compliant. Or you can send the PTE housing to me and I'll modify it by welding a perfect plate back into the housing, thus allowing you to run a dump tube to atmosphere. The reason they cut out the wall in their housing is because there is not enough flow to regulate boost. This statement came directly from them.

Cost of the modification to the housing is $30.00.

well, you see, on my exhaust housing, the divider is barely cut. Not as much as that PTE tho. Its really weird. Its cut like an 1" wide and about 3/4" deep. Looks funny. I'm not sure what I want to do with it. I might run a tubular o2, but I'm afraid it will creep.

yeah im getting boost creep with my hybrid connections 02 housing.
