Installed manifold & outlet

ok i just got done installing my megan manifold and outlet. The thing is now my car actually feels slower to me?!? The questions i had was 1.) the od sensor does not go down near as far into the outlet pipe as before, its prcatically level with the inside of the outlet, does this make a difference or as long as its in its in? 2.) i plugged the breather hole that runs to the crankcase, would this mess up performace as long as i still have the one running to my intake?

i duno, after driving around to day it feels like under normal acceleration it doesnt pull as hard, but under full throttle it pulls about the same as it did or a little bit more, i guess just with all the extra airflow i may have lost torque? but i thought when ur turbo the lesser backpressure is always best?

you should have gained power... reconnect that crank case fitting... that drains back into the block... dunno if that will help, but i think its better to keep it connected.

also, i thought you had to get a bigger/different o2 sensor with the new outlet?

The hole you plugged is for the factory catch can, the black thing you probably threw out.

Get a catch can, if you don't want too..then get a longer hose and connect that hole to the Crankcase again.


When I did mine..it was just as fast as it was..but mine has some serious Exhaust leak now..POS Megan bolts.

well i do have a catch can and its goin on tomorrow, but its for the intake side. I guess ill prolly end up running hose to the crankcase then just to be sure. the stock o2 sensor doesnt fit in the new hole but i tapped out the plug for the o2 sensor to fit into so it works like that, its just that for some reason it wont screw all the way in, its running fine tho so i mean i guess its working right, it shouldnt be running good if were gettin a bad sense...
