Installing A/F sensor

[gorganl2000]

is the wideband oxygen sensor to be install just after/around the firewall area (about 36" inches away from turbo)?---i would just like this confirmed

also, where do you run the cable/chord from the sensor (to get it inside the car)?---any particular bungs in that area to look for?

any pics would be great

important to weld the bung in an angle position not in a horizontal way as shown above so nothing will get stuck with the sensor tip like carbon etc etc and also for condensation probs, it prolongs its lifetime, also the manufacturer will supposely recommend on its manual at which angle must be done! cheers

condensation is only a problem between 9:00 and 3:00.
if there's carbon build up I'll unscrew the sensor and give it a clean
mines been working fine for the last 6months.
pictures ?

yeah, the manual says install at 10 or 2 o"clock

its generally said by users not to install at 3 or 9 o' clock and defintely not 12 or 6 o' clock
