o2 sensors in cross over or downpipe? Just trying to figure out where to put my o2 sensors..someone said it wasn't a good idea to put them in the cross over and to put them in the downpipe and some said it was fine....any ideas?

if you have both banks in the downpipe, how is the ECU going to account for the different banks running different if they're reading the same thing in the downpipe?
Put them in the crossover, and a wideband in the downpipe

Verdad Gallardo The pressure differential will cause the arf's to be slightly off, and the heat pre turbo will take its toll on the sensor.
Starting on page 7 of this installation manual for a AEM wideband its say's the same thing. I have read similar in many other places.

If you are going to run them in a single turbo application you need to put one in each bank pre-turbo. If you are running twins you can put them in the downpipes post turbo. In a single app. I either dont use factory sensors and tune in open loop, or dont expect them to last long.

Narrow band O2 are fine pre-turbo, they take heat much better then WB o2's. And there not used in WOT anyway so accuracy is not important there. Mine have been pre-turbo for 4 years and still work great!

I guess you can try the narrowband pre turbo, but I've always heard it's a bad idea. No first hand experience though. My WB told me if it's on a turbo app, it needs to be at least 12" past the turbine on the downpipe. I put it about 24" past, and no problems.
