Well that's my wide band on, don't know what I'm looking at just looks like another gauge to stare at and worry about. Lol. Ticking aver around 14.2 but I can't take it a run as it's not being taxed till next month.

How much of a job was it? Ive got to fit mine at some point and the worst bit looks like running the wires up behind the dash?

Placed the sensor just at the rear of the flexi pipe, about 3ft from the turbo, any closer and it can get too hot. Calibration is very easy just follow the instructions. As for fitting its dead easy . I have mine hidden in the glove box as i prefer the standard car look. I only connected the live and negative as im not bothered anout the thing itself lighting up and you can still see the digits as there illuminated anyway. Luckily i found an old unused live and neg under the dash

Just angle it to one side, best to look at the exhaust while its still fitted and mark it on one side, whichever way you want the sensor to point making sure there's enough room for it to stick out. Then remove the front exhaust section , drill and weld in the boss. When running the sensor cable make sure its clear of the drive shaft as this seems to be right were you need to run the cable before it goes up the bulk head

No problem i just thought it was important as it had to come out the side but angle down towards the ground but not to far or moisture droplets go in as car/exhaust cools down or from cold start and damages sensor

It's recommends 20o angle, but as you mentioned it's only to prevent/reduced moisture affecting the sensor

Dont know ive just stuck mine were it would fit best. As its just below the centre of the exhaust the probe is angled up slightly but the exhaust heat and fact it heats up as the ignition is turned on im sure a bit of moisture wont effect it
