Did you guys just replace the stock o2 with a wideband or did you weld a seperate bunge cause i know it mentions to have it atleast 10 inches away from the turbine because it cant get too hot. so what did some of you guys do? are there downpipe vendors that sell you a down pipe with a pre made bunge for an additional o2 sensor (wideband).

A lot of test pipes come with a bung already installed. I know for sure the MR one does.

you have to keep your stock O2 hooked up or you'll get a check engine light. you'll need to weld on a bung any where on the down pipe, test pipe or in front of a high flow cat.

^^True but the closer to the turbo you get the more accurate the reading is going to be. If you have a cat you're reading will be off.

I ordered my DP from Buschur and had them weld in a bung for the o2 I had a BR dp before this and the local stop destroyed it trying to put in a bung (incompetent welder) making a 10 dollar job a 200 dollar job.
