Urgent pic request; downpipe

[GTI R RA]

Going to weld an adapter for a widelambda sensor to my goose downpipe.
As the pipe is off the car I need pis of it fitted to see what is the best place
for the adapter so it would be great with some help here.

i dont know if this is of any use to you, its an AM elbow and downpipe

Mine, from a different angle.

They are both to close to the turbo i am sure someone said they have to be at least 12 to 18 inches away from the tubby.

D'oh. "Goose downpipe".

Just buy a heat sink then distance from the turbo should not be a problem or except you have to change the sensor more often.

Thankes mates I will look into it.
The bosch sensor that came with the AEM Uego kit have to be 36" after the turbo.

It's not the external heat on the sensor.... it's the excess heat on the probe within the exhaust that will fcuk it.... 36" from turbo is indeed what AEM suggest.

yeah, my innovate one is ~25 inch from the turbo. make sure its beyond the 3 oclock position aswell if you can as moisture build up on the edge of the probe can damage the sensors aswell.

section 3 here is real useful:

Thanks

put it in the decat pipe makes it easy to weld in

a tuner at a rolling road would put it in the tail pipe

 

[GTI R RA]

I understand, but I also use a racecat.

 

[steve963]

'racecat' is that a fast feline?
