if you go open loop speed density you dont need them at all

but i'm wondering about the wideband too, weather to put them where the pipes merge together before the turbo or in the down pipe or what

Stock O2 sensors can go anywhere. However, wideband O2s must go in in the downpipe...they don't like the high pre-turbine pressures and temperatures.

you can do either OLSD or CLSD. wideband is suppost to go in the down pipe. i am guessing a foot or two after the turbo, RAACCR wanna help on that ?

I usually shoot for 18" - 24" past the turbine. Also, be sure that the sensor is somewhat vertically upright; ideally between the 10:00 and 2:00 positions; this prevents condensation from pooling into the sensor when you park your car.

Both rely on a VE maps (and sometimes, other "correction" tables such as IAT, ECT, yada yada yada). Open Loop does not make any adjustments based on O2 feedback, while closed loop does (adjustments may be based on long term feedback, short term feedback or both, depending on tuner's preference and system capability). Which is "better" and why could be debated to the end of the internet. Long story short: its the tuner's preference for each specific application.

i like OLSD as you have absolute total control, nothing to do little tricks behind your back, but everyone is different. do a search in the PCM section, been discussed a few times already

Widebands are expensive. They are heated so you can put them pretty far down the down pipe so it will last longer

200 bucks and 70 to replace the sensor (if it fails-mines going a year strong) is expensive? the peace of mind knowing whats going on is enough for me

they are 50 bucks if you know where to look

but i did some reading and it says that the closer it gets to the turbo the more you have to make a heat shield to not cook it

i'm going to put it about 2.5 feet from the turbo, that would be perfict for me

The instructions for my AEM says 36" downstream of the turbine wheel min and at atleast a 10 degree angle upwards to prevent condensation from staying on it.
