    i bought a wideband 02 sensor and was wondering what is the best location for the sensor. i have stattama turbo kit on it with 3 in dp. the factory o2 sensor is after the turbo on the upper downpipe. i have no converter on the car and i was wondering if i can put the wideband where the rear 02 sensor normally goes underneith the car? or will it be to far away from the engine to read right?
    thank you

    You want the sensor to be as close to the stock front sensor as possible. This is the ideal location because you want the exhaust as hot as possible etc.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    Just have an exhaust shop weld a bung halfway down the downpipe...or in the crossover itself.

    That's how plenty of people have done it before.
