post #8 I posted pics, it wont let me upload them again so go to this thread, post 8
Here you can see the spot where the end of the spring tacked itself to the cap
This thing came allready attached to the o2 housing when I bought it and it will leave still attached. There is NO way in hell this thing is coming off. I beat the piss out of it with a rubber mallet, a plastic mallet and even wrapped a towel around the head of my titanium stilletto hammer, it did not move a hair. All I am doing is marking it up even with the rubber mallet. Its almost as if it is welded on there. I give up, I am stating that this thing is a piece of shat and I will be welding the flapper hole closed and having a flange welded on the exhaust manifold for whatever new wastgate I buy, will be EASILY ACCESSABLE Hell I might as well buy an ebay wastgate because i will probably get more than 1000 miles out of it. I basically spent $600 on a paperweight, the gate failed twice in 6 months and the o2 housing made me cut and bash the hell out of my fan and it STILL hit the alternator. Nobody else seems to have had any problems with their PR o2 housings clearence, guess I got the one made on a monday or friday...anyways like I said, I'm 245lbs and i beat the sh*t out of this thing from all angles, it wont budge, Tial can have the whole thing...
