pipe connects otherwise you will only be getting readings from 1 bank.

i read off of one bank...if you go too far back the sensor may cool off and skew the readings in one direction or another.

No, the heater in the sensor takes care of itself.

for what it's worth...most naturally aspirated guys run one wideband on either the driver or passanger side. What a lot of people are doing now is running the wideband as a narrowband. Dual widebands would rock...but it's usually not necessary.

No, the heater is always active working to maintain a set temperature. This is why the sensor can error out if EGT at the sensor exceeds the heater's regulated temperature.
