Also the bung needs to be AT LEAST at a 10 degree angle from the horizontal. Somewhere between the 10 and 2 o'clock position is ideal I think. That looks like a bad place for the bung in every possible way.

Thanks for the pic! My exhaust looks a bit different than the one in your picture (couple converters on mine)

Question, my O2 sensor seems to be on this pipe as well, near the turbo. Why would they put the sensor in this pipe. Does the WB O2 not read the same?

There are also options from Prosport in 52mm or 60mm.. with or without peak hold / warning

Thanks for the link John! I located one from that site that I may drop the hammer on. It has a digital display which would make it easier to read from the cubby slot where my boost controller and gauge currently are. Any opinions on this unit?

If you use the information it provides to do a tune, it might, but thats another thread..

The NBO2 sensor feeds info back to the DME regarding fuel trim..

A WBO2 is much broader in its range of readings (hence the NB vs WB name) but is not understood by the DME.. MOST of the WB gauges include a provision to output a 0-1V signal (NB style signal) for the ECU to take as an input, but this really isn't needed..

MANY new cars use both types of sensors, NB and WB, however our cars only use the NB in stock format (some stand alones can take inputs from either or both types of sensors..)
