this would be the wide band I would go with period. Its was the most accurate and had the fastest response time. I actually saw the test on horse power tv. I have a spot on my down pipe after the flex section. I still will be using the stock narrow band as well.

no its not ok. you will shorten the life of the sensor. you need to mount it further down stream of the turbo. here is a pic of my 02 housing and dp. you can see both o2 sensor bungs. the second one is for the wide band.

Anywhere before a leak or a catalytic converter and you'd be golden.
Personally in another car I've ran the LC-1 in the turbo elbow for 5 years and no issues.

It (should) displays an error message if it is running too hot. The thing is, don't forget to do a free air calibration every few months (3 is what the LC-1 calls for in forced induction if I remember correctly).

Anyone used this?

I swear there used to be one with daisy-chainable displays...

as long as you don't have any exhaust leaks yes the reading will be the same.

i have been using a LM-1 for over 4 years in my ser i am finally now on my second sensor. no other unit will tell you that your sensor is bad nor do most even let you calibrate it. if you cant calibrate it or reference it of some thing then how do you even know its close? innovate all the way. plus innovate works with most tunning software aem calum nistune etc.

I just got my AEM wideband installed this weekend and I like it a lot. Cheap, easy to install, no fuss really. Yeah, it's disappointing that it does not have support for the Calum boards or anything like that, but if you merely want it for safety reasons than it's not much of an issue.

Here is a good article about widebands. It has a comparison of a number of them.
