Wideband EGT and O2 placement.
 
I plan on finishing up my welding tomorrow. Where is the best place to install the WB and EGT bungs? Also the way I'm running my hot side what would be the best location for the Drivers side O2? It will be sampling both banks, is this OK?

egt should be as close to the head as posiblefacing straight up and down.

The WB should be atleast 1ft back from the union of the two sides if you are only going to be running one WB sensor.. Keep it facing straight up and down as well..

I just got an email and the guy said WB no more than 12" from turbo in DP?? Does that sound right?

no LESS than 12 inches from the turbo.. the exhaust gass is to hot and will kill the sensor quicker than it needs to be. I typicaly have mine atleast 15inches from the turbo.
This isnt a stock narow ban sensor that needs to be close, its a WB..

When you say up and down do you mean up and down with the pipe, or the ground?

I think what he meant to say was to keep it as perpendicular to the pipe as possible

That is what I figured, but I wanted to make sure.
