Eventuri Turbo Tube + USR Downpipe

[josh8604]

I recently installed my Eventuri turbo tube and USR downpipe and I am having an issue with the top O2 sensor pressing up against the silicone hose for the intake. Has anyone tried the Eventuri turbo tube with a different downpipe without this issue?

I do not have this combination, but could you post a macro view of the bay so we can see the alignment of everything else?

I just took these right now, let me know if you want a different angle.

I was told to loosen the downpipe and then rotate it to allow clearance for the top sensor but with how close the 2nd sensor is to the clutch slave, that would be impossible.

Definitely the DP. I have an RV6 and it sits next to the inlet pipe but isn't jammed under it like yours. Mine touches loosely (and can easily be moved off the intake tube).

@josh8604 off topic - dude that bay is CLEAN! Looks good.

Thanks for sharing your pictures. I was debating between the RV6 and the PRL and ending up going with the PRL which also does not have the issues like the USR pipe.

Thanks man! Appreciate the love!

That is a tough predicament!
I don't see a way around that besides modding the turbo inlet tube or replacing DP with another brand.

Problem solved by replacing the pipe with the PRL downpipe, I chose the one with the high flow cat.

Nicely done! I am so glad I didn't have that issue. Dealing with that forward heat shield bolt and lower brackets has put me off DP work for a while.

my installer didn’t want to put the heat shield on because of how much of a pain it was to get it in. But after some elbow grease he got it in, but definitely don’t want to do that again!

It took me a while to figure it out myself. The trick was to use an extendable ratchet so I could vary the length as I snaked my arm in from the right and as short of a 12 mm socket as I could find so I could clear the radiator fans.
