I made this, so you'll know!

Are you supposed to mount a sensor that flat? I thought they were always supposed to be perpendicular to the ground, +-45 degrees.

Yeah, I left a message.

I can send Tim's speed bleeders with Ivone if you think you'll be seeing her before tomorrow...

Is that hole into the passenger cabin drilled just for the wideband or is it a factory hole?

There are 2 factory plugged holes in the floor, one below the passenger seat that makes it easy to snake the wires into the cabin from a side-mounted WBO2...

Not my car but it is exactly how i have it. That hole is factory, i drilled the grommet that was there, it is really clean and puts it right behind the lower din

Bosch says either on the top or on the side, provided that it's more than 10° from the horizontal.

Yeah, that's mint! No rooting around with a coat hanger under the carpet and removing your passenger seat.

actually i think AEM's install guide said at least 10* from flat. It is just angled to let moisture fall off. I know you know that i just wanted to post a reason why it is angled. It works no matter how it is mounted in the pipe.

anything from 10*- 90* is fine

And here i am thinking that is how everyone does it. I didn't know there was an alternative way to install it.
