Upgrade path? 02 eliminator/external wastegate?

[telly699]

Alright, where to start....

I just bought a place that has a nice big garage. I now live in Chicago so I can take the train to work, thus my car is no longer a daily driver. So now Im serious....

For now I have intake, bov, boost gauge/control as far as relevant mods. Stock t-25.

So, exhaust. I want to get a full cat back setup, and take care of the downpipe all in one instal. ( I think I want an external dump, and I was looking at rnr. ) So my options are: cat-back+downpipe and port my o2 -or- cat-back+o2 eliminator downpipe. Right?

I know I am going to upgrade my turbo sometime in the next year or so. I may want to go external wastegate. If I get the 02 eliminator downpipe now, does that mean I can no longer mount an external wastegate, or can I mount it somewhere else? Is that best? My goals are 12s or better. Or should I just port the 02 and then leave the option open? I know o2 eliminator will provide better flow, so thats what I would like, but dont want to screw myself down the road. This car is from now on, strictly a toy. HELP ME OUT GUYS!

Im pretty confused at this point.

Hey man,
well in my opinion, go with the Catback, Downpipe, and either port your o2 housing or buy an 02 with an external dump, those flow really well. You will get rock solid boost with an external dump. I bought mine from punishmentracing.com, and if you ever want to go external wastegate you can sell it............plus it sounds fu*king mean as hell.............

You can mount an external wastegate on the o2 housing, on the exhaust manifold, or buy a custom setup manifold/o2 housing from victoryperformance, they have some good shiite.

So does anyone think that an 02 eliminator/external dump downpipe is the way to go? As opposed to downpipe + o2 housing? Then put the wastegate somewhere else? Or is that not the ideal way to set it up? Thanks for the reply eastwood. It seems that might be easiest.
