what are you asking? the placement of your O2 bung will not determine if you need a narrow band or wide band O2..

that is determined by what it is used for....

WBO2 should be more than a certain distance from the turbo outlet because of heat issues, but people have had success having it right at the outlet. Under no condition is a narrow band better than a wideband, ever.

Ohh, I re-read it. Is your narrow band heated? It can take longer to respond the further away it is from the turbo outlet if it is not heated.

Also, don't bother with a narrow band.
