I think the wiring is okay, it is all new - lambda sensor is located in downpipe approx 4 inches from flange
4 inches from the turbo flange can be a bit hot for certain wide band sensors. Try mounting the new one a bit further down stream but before and not too near any joints. Also make sure any exhaust sealant you use does not contain silicone.
Not a bad suggestion this. I have another boss at the lower part of the downpipe. I will try this with the next to see how it gets on. I think that the heat thing is the most likely culprit. I cant think of anything else that would kill it. Others have mentioned it poss running too rich. This is possible, but I think that may kill it alltogether
