Just curios, where do you put your wideband sensor if you're running an external wastegate and electric exhaust cutout?

Has anyone with the sensor in the stock location had their's fail?
You're suggesting I just weld a bung into the downpipe then?
The wastegate dump does not matter because at WOT, your ECU does not rely on o2 sensor readings, and you normally only open the wastegate at WOT. And you are fine with the wideband 36" even if the cutout is 2' away
If you use an LC-1, the actual control unit has narrowband simulation built in. You just wire up one of the analogue output wires to your ECU where the front o2 sensor normally connects.
It's giving you issues most likely because you were cutting and splicing wires together. You cannot rig stuff and expect it to work the way it was intended 100% of the time.
If the heater isn't working then the o2 sensor will foul up quick and become damaged.
