Question Wbo2 Sensor Mounted Horizontal

I mounted my Lindsey wbo2 sensor in an almost horizontal position. I have now heard that it should be mounted as verical as possible.

How much will this affect my readings?

Why does it have to be mounted vertically anyway? The stock one isn't.

It has to do with condensation developing and staying on the tip as the exhaust cools. Bout the only way to mount it on a 951 is horizontal.

You can install it in a 45 degree angle where it curves around the starter.

I had mine mounted vertically where the wastegate dump meets the rest of the test pipe, but it just stopped working, so I need to see what the heck is going on. It seemed like there was enough room to go veritcally, though.

Mounted mine on my downpipe at about a 45 degree angle leaning towards the brake fluid resevoir.

No, and it's actually a bit better since the temps is a lot lower there.
To close to the turbo and the sensor lifetime will be greatly reduced.
