Just wondering, if I am going to be running a forward facing manifold with a custom downpipe and AEM EMS, do I need to keep the upper o2 sensor? (sensor closest to turbo)

bump!

 

Did you run the wideband in the rear loacation?

 

yes because thats the o2 the ecu uses to determine the a/f

 

right now i dont have a wideband. the o2 sensor that im speaking of is the one located closest to the turbo...and is screwed into the o2 housing. i found out today that as long as im running AEM standalone i will not need that anymore.

 

my bad, i missed the aem standalone part. i was thinkin stock ecu

 

You don't need it for the AEM EMS. Not sure about your state, but I had to keep mine, and added a bung for it in order to pass for my inspection. Everyone asks me how I have a legit inspection sticker with an AEM EMS haha.

 

lol no problem! i figured you just misread

lol im still up in the air about inspection. well see what happens down the road i guess!

 

one last question...if i get rid of that sensor, can i just tuck the plug away (the plug that sits on top of the valve cover that the sensor connects to)

tia!

 

Yes, mine is under my intake manifold.

 

I have a ff kit with aem and I don't have any factory 02 sensors. I only have the wideband sensor hooked up to the aem. I tucked away the plug
