Default Where should I mount my lambda sensor??

I finally finished constructing my wideband lambda sensor driver / AFR display today and have got it all wired into my cabby. All that now remains is to weld a boss into my exhaust and fit the sensor. Ive heard that its important for the sensor not to get too hot so I thought of putting the boss just in front of the front bulkhead (in line with the steering rack). Does anyone know if this will be OK?, anyone else fitted one of these to a RST?.

Cheers,

Stu

Ive seen that too mate but according to the manufacturers of this kit the sensor should be 18" minimum from the turbo to stop it overheating (its the Bosche wideband "066" sensor).
