I’ve been looking at a replacement wb sensor and I see a lot on eBay for around $40. Are these fake Bosch sensors?

As per my tuner, those are in fact fake Bosch. He also mentioned something about using a '05 350z Bosch WB sensor. They're probably cheaper in the auto parts store. I've yet to buy one, so I can't confirm for sure.
He works for AEM , so he definitely knows his stuff.
I purchase replacement sensors through local auto parts stores. Volkswagen also uses Bosch wideband sensors in some of their cars, just make sure you get the correct sensor (4.2 or 4.9), so cross-reference the part number. My replacement was @ $55 with a online discount. It also comes with a 1yr replacement warranty.
Saw this on Amazon. It says not original but made to over OEM specs and LIFETIME warranty.

I haven't ever got a non Bosch sensor Tony but wanted to see what was being offered. I found my sensor at Oriellys and it was in a Bosch box so I felt good about that.
I wasn't aware any car used a 4.9 sensor stock. Last time i tried to fine one they could only get 4.2 sensors from parts stores and had to order a 4.9 offline.
