been offered the innovate LC-1 air/fuel ratio monitor from my mate motor cheap, but he doesnt have the lambda sensor for it.

can i use any 5 wire wideband spec lambda sensor? if so, where is best to get hold of 1, and what sort of ballpark figure am i looking at?

also, where is best to locate the sensor itself? if im right, its supposed to be a minimum specified distance from the turbo to avoid it baking to death, so im thinking fit it in the downpipe just behind the sump, so i can run the wiring down the bulkhead. would this be an ok location for an accurate enough reading?

They use a Bosch sensor (LS1 i think) can be had for around fifty quid from most motor factors/dealers or ebay, you are right about your placement too, it must also not be directly above (gets too hot) or slanting downhill (can fill with water condensate)

sorry its "LSU4" quite common, as said fifty quid

must not be directly above what? and must not be slanting downhill? might just be me getting confused here lol

do u mean weld the boss into the side of the pipe rather than on top?

The lambda sensor must not be directy above or facing downhill for the above reasons, a quick google will show you picks of how to mount it
