I've heard that using a WBO2 on a daily driven car will cause it to go down south rather quickly... < 10K miles?

1.) you are using race gas (read: leaded)
2.) you don't have it wired right, and it doesn't receive power to pre-heat the sensor when you start the car
3.) you are running extremely rich for extended periods of time
4.) it is mounted too close to the turbo - the excessive heat will not only potentially give inaccurate readings but will shorten the lifespan of the sensor
5.) it is mounted below the horizon - i.e. if 12 o'clock is the top of the exhaust pipe, the sensor shoudl not be mounted below the 9 o'clock - 3 o'clock line
AFAIK a properly mounted wideband sensor is:
a.) mounted as close to 12 o'clock as possible (pointing straight down)
b.) as close to the cat as possible
c.) is removed when using leaded gas

I had a bung welded into my DP before I installed it so I could plug in a WB O2 sensor for tunes and such, the shop that was doing the dyno tune opted for the side of the pipe rather than the top for the bung placement. I imagine it's because it's easier to get the sensor in and out from under the car when it's only going into the side rather than the top, but no mention was made of the "correct" orientation at that time.
