Which Lambda sensors are you using?

OE, Aftermarket or wide-band?

Has anyone tried a pattern-part one fitted in the turbo?

Had any reliability issues with sensors?

Cheers!

Yeah Gareth, I meant a simulated narrow-band output from a controller, sorry

Cheers all

Trying to weigh up Ł180 for OE sensor plug-and-play goodness vs a bit of wiring, welding and a nice cheap sensor

Neil, dont use a really cheap universal sensor, the harsh environment that is your YB downpipe will reduce it to garbage in no time.

Call me tomorrow and i will do you a serious deal on a tried and tested unit since you bought the rest from me.
