Put them just past the collector on each side.

It must be going in a rock crawler or sand buggy of some kind right?

That fab work looks amazing.

Explain the application and ecu you intend to use ?

ie, are the o2 sensors you are fitting widebands or narrowband ?

A wideband should be fitted in the downpipe some 18-24" at least away from the turbo. Widebands do not like heat or pressure, so you dont really want them before the turbocharger at all.

Narrowbands it will hardly matter much

Yeah water cooled manifold cover and fuel rails, separate system.
It's going in a winch challeng truck, standard 02, standard computer.
So this exercise has been no help I have one person say collector the other say dump pipe.

Who said the two different things ? re-read my post.

And given this is going into a totally non road legal vehicle ( I assume ? )...you really dont need any o2 sensors at all, especially factory narrowband ones.

They are not needed for your application.

And for a narrowband sensor, location really isnt that important as I already described.

if your running open loop no o2's pre turbo and a wideband in the downpipe

if your running closed loop o2 in each side before the turbo after the collector and a wideband in the downpipe
