I may be getting a wideband as well when the car comes out this year. Was wondering where the best place to put the oxygen sensor for the wideband is? ---

6-12inches after the turbo is where many people will put them, obviously before a Cat if you have one ---

Rays NTK sensor is right off the turbo, maybe 10inches away. i think every supra engine bay ive seen has the sensor right there, worst case, it burns up and you replace it. i think alot of people are just paranoid about the placement of it. ---

i have no idea to be honest. but they say not verticle, up side down, or right on 3 or 9. something about flow across the sensor is optimal at that position ---

You dont want it anywhere near 6 oclock because moisture will collect on it and possibly screw it up. my 2 cents. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/best-place-for-wideband/240992.md?page=2)
