My wideband sensor's current location is the stock o2 sensor bung, no problems yet.

Mine is just down stream from stock, but to the side a bit for undisturbed exhaust flow.

In a perfect world they want the sensor 24" from the turbo, pointing down, and angled in the pipe.

It will be fine where the bung is at.

Thread hijack!~
leme know when you want that rim/tire back man. He works at 19th and northern and we can meet up there to snag it. Maybe have a few brews.

My wideband sensor was recomended to be 24" from the turbo or anywhere in front of the cat. I added another O2 bung in the straight section of my DP right before the cat and ran the harness along the trans crossmember then into the truck. Seems to work fine but I'm sure one of your 2 bungs on your DP will work. The sensors can only handle so much of extreme temps and that's the reason for the 24" minimum. I'd rather not have to worry so I moved mine down stream.

Mine is at the bottom of the downpipe.

Ya, moved mine as well, also kept the stock one. Tucked mine in on the front of the bottom ell. Pipe is out if you want a pic.
