question about cut exhaust housing turbos...

[highintenzity4]

Hey Im installing a pte 60-1 with the cut exhaust housing.. Im thinking of ordering the tubular o2 housing. My question is will it work with the cut exhaust housing of my turbo? Or would I have to cut the center portion of the o2housing to match the exhaust side of the turbo? Thanks

As I understand it, that cut is ther in order to allow the gasses released by the WG to have another avenue of exit. BC often the O2 pipe isn't large enough on the WG side to allow it all, causing creep. the cut lets some of that air (in case there's too much for that side of your O2 pipe) to escape through the regular exhuast side) SO, if you do get a larger tubular O2, you may not even really NEED that cut in the first place. I guess it all depends on your setup. But, no, that cut is fine where it is. This is all assuming I'm on the same page with you that we're discussing the optional cutout of the divide between the turbine's exhaust passage and the WG exhaust passage. . . hope so.

Thanks for the info... Well now I understand the point of it but do I need to do any modifications to my o2 housing since my exhaust housing is cut? For instance, do I cut the center portion of the housing? Thanks again.

i here if you have a cut exhaust housing that its not recommended to have an o2 dump...something to consider

You'll be fine. No need to modify your o2 housing at all.

be sure to NOT buy the o2 housing with atmosphere dump...

Oops. kinda left that part out. sorry. like GILZ said, no, a normal O2 will be just fine. you don't need that opening ported for maximum flow or anything. it's just a little bypass area.
