Thread: Wideband sensor placement

So the guys on the Mustang forums claim my wideband sensor is too close to the turbo and will overheat, it is about a 5" distance on the standard Turbonetics DP. Anyone have trouble with theirs?

My wideband is close to the back of the car. I don't think it should be put in the DP. Try welding a bung to the midpipe and place it there, it's the best location.

P.S. Pm me your number please.

It should be at least 12" from the turbo...I'll probably put mine in the testpipe.

OK, I'll use the bung thats already in my mid pipe. Thanks guys.

Have you wired up the AFC already ?

It just came in today, so prolly start on it it tomorrow. I havent run a return system yet though so hopefully it cuts the 660s down enough.
Also. what is the ideal spot for an EGT bung? Same distance as wideband or closer to the turbo?

Get a bung welded into the manifold, near cylinder one. Closer to cyl 2 the better.
