I think I know the answer to this questions, but hopefully someone out there has a creative solution to this problem ... where to locate the sensor bung for my wideband on a stock Zetec header.
I don't want it after the cat due to inaccurate readings, but I don't want it too close to the engine as the high heat shortens the life of the Bosch sensor.
Right now I'm looking at placing it just above the flange to the cat (like the stock O2 sensor) and facing the prospects of replacing the sensor on a regular basis ... or not, I really only need it for tuning purposes ... other than that a failing sensor won't be a driveability problem, simply a less than accurate read out on the gauge.
Have I missed something ... is there an alternative?
TIA ... Ken.
