INVIDIA VS TITEK

[WWEVOVIII]

hi everyone,
I just wanted to get your opinions or your personal experience as far as which 02 housing you think is the better one ?? and details please ;)

[cornercarver]

Both are good. Invidia is a little more expensive since it is a cast piece.

Personally I am all about maximizing every modification so I went with the Titek V2 for 3 reasons: It is lightweight, has little separation from the WG outlet to the turbo outlet, and is the largest unit out there barring a dump tube. I chose to elliminate the seperation because it was causing a boost creep issue with my Megan 02 which had the seperation. Comparatively to the invidia which is slightly smaller overall, maintains the seperation, and is a heavy cast piece. The seperation and WG opening to the turbo outlet is far superior than the Megan piece so I am sure it would have solved the creep issue as well. But like I said I liked that it was lighter.

Cons of the SS over the cast piece, I see that the metal of the SS expands and contracts at different rates than the iron turbo hotside causing the bolts to back out and leak exhaust. However, since I switched to the Titek V2 from my Megan O2 and used new gaskets and bolts, I haven't experienced this issue.

^^ cornercarver: I read somewhere from Bryan at GST that the Titek V2 piece is quite good, so I'm assuming you like them as well? All that's needed would be the new gaskets & bolts for a trouble-free install, based on what you had posted correct? Sorry for being such a noob....

yep, changing o2 is not an easy task. Liquid wrench will help with those stubborn bolts. Most of the time one bolt will cross thread and need to be retapped.
Also your 02 sensor may or may not be cross threaded. One more thing remove your radiator for the install it will be easier with it out in the way, other then that it's easy.

Titek is a quality piece.

oops look whos here now lol umm I called SE for titek 02 housing and its gonna coast 240 :(.

[ArtEvoIX]

yeah man worst comes to worse, you can sale it and get a titek ;) good luck.

[xxx4reggie]

titek is a few more bux however it works
megan is cheaper however its a hit and miss

lets put it this way, get a megan for 150-180.... it fails
buy a titek for 240
total spent: ~350 for a titek

or just spend 240 for a titek

i have a megan and right now its going good but when i go e85 or bigger turbo thats when i'll be regretting it

good point, but my questions is im shooting for no more than 330 WHP on 100 octane but it will be mostly on 91 octane. anyways, Im wondering to see for that much power which is not really too much of a power do I still need either one of these or any after market brand should do it ? thanks. cuz 240 seems kind of expensive lol

to add to that,
where can i get a good deal as far as installing the o2 SE charges 300 just for the installation :(.

[ArtEvoIX]

yeah man worst comes to worse, you can sale it and get a titek ;) good luck.

Yup, still saving money for a tune, once I get enough for tune, Imma put it on or sell it and get a titek.

same here im trying to get a manifold, o2, cams installed all the same time and then Tune :)

[ArtEvoIX]

try M4.

[WWEVOVIII]

try M4.

yeah, I'm gonna go with them for sure, their price is way more reasonable than any other places. its like $400+ saving by going to them, and that's a HUGE saving right there.

thanks tho ;)

[Positron]

good thing I kept my Titek v2 lol

I should be putting it on in a week for two. I also had my evo ix turbo hotside ported too.

[earlyapex aka jack ass]

No need for a 02 housing for 330whp on 100oct.

[Devin@SpeedElement]

get the Titek V2 O2 housing over the invidia. the titek have a bigger / better opening.

the titek will outflow the invidia.

stock

[WWEVOVIII]

stock

oh so for my set up which is going to be TBE, ported exhaust manifold, HKS 272cams, 750 injectors, 255 fuel pump. AEM air filter, niesi intercooler, lower intercooler piping, white rabbit turbo.... I should stay with stock 02 housing ?

[cornercarver]

Your stock 02 housing is better than a Megan.

Note to anyone who purchased a Megan:

Port the hole which blends into the turbo outlet before you install. That is what causes the boost creep.

The 02 housing is really for those who want to try and extract every bit of bolt-on power they can get.

I didn't really notice anything when I installed mine. Maybe slightly better spool, but definitely louder.

Scott(whitrice) said he didn't notice anything from the 02 either, but the dyno showed a small gain. I can't compare mine since I do bulk mods and tune for them at one time.

Sent you a PM BTW.

[batosai]

maybe another one of those friski ninja deals might getcha that which you need my friend....LOL

thanks for the info again, and thanks for the pm, so I guess I can skip the 02 at this point and save couple hundreds.

haha you know it.

[earlyapex aka jack ass]

Yes. So far the stock 02 is good for almost 400whp on our mustang dyno. The 02 does help with flow though and is a good foundation for the flow upgrade path, but is more a "while it's off" upgrade. Meaning, if you have the turbo off for some reason, might as well slap a good tubular 02 housing on it before it goes back on.

thanks bryan, yeah ill keep my stock one for right now lol

[RREVOVIII]

nice your saving some $$$ finally :D

[WWEVOVIII]

Jay you agree if I skip the o2 for right now ? If its not gonna make a huge difference in power I guess I should save couple hundreds lol what you think ?

[RREVOVIII]

Jay you agree if I skip the o2 for right now ? If its not gonna make a huge difference in power I guess I should save couple hundreds lol what you think ?

yes you can skip that, if you dont mine doing all that work again next time.. for me if you have the $$$ to get the Titek, i would get it and install it while the turbo was out (just like what Bryan said)... but if you dont, you also be fine, cause you'll maxed out that turbo easy for sure anyways ;)

NVM ill put on in just to be safe, but the thing is 240 is a lot of money for a Titek ill try to find a used one for sale, let me know if you find one LOL. thanks Jay,

I had the Edge o2 (same style as Titek v1 & Megan). It held 24psi perfect on 91oct tune. No issues at all.

Anyone of you guys know how to port my Megan to how it should perform w/out boost creep? Or any shop does it with a reasonable price?

[PAT@FFTEC]

If you brought it over or spoke to Sean about it i'm sure we could take care of what ya need!

You don't want to sell it and pick up a diff brand?

[ArtEvoIX]

You don't want to sell it and pick up a diff brand?

Thinking about it. Just wondering if it would be cheaper to get it ported and may work as well as titek than buying a titek. I might also stop by sometime tomorrow, I have few tuning questions.
