You can install the bung however far you want..Just make sure it can still hookup to where it plugs in..

Really I read 8-24 in away

They usually say about 36 inches from the turbo, so about 3 feet. The closer to the turbo the more accurate reading your gonna get, but you will lose life on the sensor. Also you will mount it on a slight angle facing down so there is no water build up in the sensor.

The minimum is 18" down stream. Make sure to mount no less then 3oclock and no higher then 2oclock. Basically 10 degrees up from the horizontal plane of the vehicle.

Be sure to allow for some movement so you don't place it somewhere then your exhaust shifts and blows it up. Ask me how I know.

I'm installing my innovate mtx-l wideband and I need to know how far down on the downpipe I should weld the bung.

Where does Innovate recommend placing it?


Ah, I see they don't give you any distance suggestions just temp at the bung needs to be below 900F. Very helpful

Here you go.

Well I mounted my o2 sensor 22in away from the Turbo at around the 12 o'clock position.

Numerous posts on various forums that say you can use the front O2 sensor bung and not experience problems. In fact, I posted a thread similar to this a while ago..

I just put my lc1 kit in my stock front o2 sensor location with no probs... You will get a CEL for the front o2 sensor even if u splice in on pin 76(i think...) of the ecu for narrow band simulation. DSMLink is the way to go for this, as you can ignore that... before dsmlink i used one of the 2 wires from the lc1 to pin 76 for the narrowband simulation... and when I got dsmlink, swapped it to read the full 5v like the other wire for my wb guage so I can log wbo2 via ecmlink. You can then have dsmlink do the narrowband simulation for you.

If you mean you mounted on the o2 housing thats a big no no. Its not designed like a narrow band sensor, and there is a reason it says to mount it down stream of the turbo.

And yet if you actually look around and see what real people have done, it's not an issue. As my post stated, numerous actual people report good results.

I run my LC1 in the front o2 bung in NBS. No issues at all.

My Bosch wideband sensor currenly resides in the stock O2 housing location. It's been there for over a year without a single problem. I see 900 degrees C max. in the #1 runner on 91 octane, as indicated by my EGT guage. The turbo reduces some of the exhaust heat before it reaches the O2 sensor in the stock location, so I've never been concerned with overheating the Bosch wideband even with EGTs as high as 900C.

I put mine in the second o2 spot on my 2g. On my 1g I basically put it in the same location, just drilled a whole, and welded a bung in. Technically you could put it at the end of your exhaust and still get a reading to tune with. Just like they do for emissions tests. But anyways, book says 3ft, I say somewhere around there so you don't burn up the sensor.

I believe that it is suppose to be put in 3 feet from the turbo.

On my 2g, I had mine 3" after the flex section. Worked perfect for me.

Mine is in the vertical section of the downpipe near the bottom, just before it goes horizontal. Has been working great for 2+ years.

I have mine the front o2 port on the o2 housing for over a year, no issues at all with the AEM. I did install it after the flex section and saw a good almost sec delay on the readings....
