my 02 housing fell off my car last night (yes, while driving)...
had to limp my car w/the 02 housing about 4" away from teh hot side of the turbo (yes, sounded sick, wideband reading 21.0 @ idle and cruise, hehe)
limped to the bolt/nut store... guess what... those fukkers moved...
well.... i keep a wire hanger on the floor of my backseat.. so i pulled up the 02 housing (which was a bitch.. the only other place the exhaust is "hung" is behind the rear axle) using the hanger and ended up tying it up w/the hanger for about 1/2 mile drive to the bolt/nut store's new location...
got there got some new lock washers n nuts (M10x1.5 if you need a reference) and burned a hole through my mechanix gloves (and my finger) while installing new lockwashers n nuts...
gunna v-band that fukker this weekend (if time/money permits)..
im gunna be buying a "donut" to get a tight radius 3" for the initial turndown off teh turbo.....
this will be uberexensive (upwards of $180) and i can make 4 using 1 donut..
if anyone is interested, i'll be willing to sell the other 90's of tight radius 3" so you can fab up a 3" 02 housing or go v-band properly.....
v-band and i'll have no more issues.....
v-band FTW
p.s. v-band FTMFW.......
edit: here's what a donut looks like (to get teh tight radius 3" for the turndown, this will be necessary)
