I wasn't sure so I wanted to ask if there are any aftermarket downpipes that already have a o2 bung for the wideband sensor? Maybe if anyone has one sitting around I could buy I know Cobb has one but is that my only option? I don't want a custom one welding on.
you could take the rear 02 sensor out and replace the wideband......but you want it close to the turbo, maybe about 6-12 inches away from it, that way you get the acurate (don't know how to spell it) readings.
is it stock or aftermarket?? aftermarket I would say $20 if you supplied the bung.. maybe $30 if the shop supplies it... I did a few of them when I had my shop...
Darn then I have to take out my downpipe. For now I can't afford to do that since I am stuck driving my car for awhile.
Helix...Cobb....a lot of aftermarket DP's have an extra o2 bung right near the turbo for a wideband. What one did you get? I have a helix and when I get the money I'm going to install an LC-1 wideband in it permanently. -Steve
I have always heard the cobb bung was too close to the turbo to be useful for a wideband but honestly I have never seen any written up evidence that actually says so.
Actually, the close position is likely the most useful for pure tuning. The problem is that the sensor is more likely to burn out quickly being so close to the turbo.
i have a invidia dp that has a bung at the top near the bellmouth - I put my LC-1 there. I added a large copper heatsink (as per the directions that came with the LC-1 if the sensor is mounted within a certain distance from the turbo)
^^^How long have you had it in there? I have the Cobb DP and the WB bung is in the bellmouth close to the turbo as well. I was gonna' put my WB in there, but as has been said, I heard it was too close. The heat sink should help with longevity, but who wants to be spending $80 on sensors all the time :-/ But, do I want to weld into my DP when it already has a bung? I'll probably just use the installed bung.
