i was thinking of this today, whos running a turbo car with their o2 sensor in the manifold as apposed to the downpipe? any disadvantages to this?

i was thinkig od mounting it right up at the collector itself somewhere.
thanks for the info

I read that the exhaust temperatures might be a little too hot for the sensor-- at least it is for the innovative wideband.

it doesn't matter what the dissadvantages are.. there are no ADVANTAGES. You have to make a custom downpipe anyway unless you buy a full kit.... you don't have to make a custom manifold

unless you had a turbo header... but with a regular log style manifold that still wouldn't work very well. but i don't see how the inlet temps would be higher before the turbo as opposed to after. think about how much heat the turbo generates.

actuakly the one big advantage i was thinking of was ont having to run a heated o2 in the downpipe. becaues if i could get this thing into the collector area of the log manifold then it would still get a hot enough signal to give a more or less accurate reading. im thinking something similar along the lines of what a stock manifold is using. but by the looks of things it wont really work to my advantage so ill just stick it on the downpipe

just run a wideband in the down pipe. it'll make things easier.

also if the 02 sensor ever corroded and broke up it would distroy the turbo
