L6 ecu's do not support lambda sensors !!!

You will need an L8 or P8 to use closed loop (and appropriate chip).

Also this is the wrong room to ask for help mate, try General discussion or other rooms dedicated to your car type.

Don't bother wasting your time with closed loop, esp at the price it costs to upgrade to this.
If it is mapped correctly it doesn't need it, mine was running 0.97% CO, 137PPM on a 200K old cossie engine 100% perfectly on greys T34, modded head, WITHOUT closed loop, and could still crack 40mpg on a run.

Tabetha,

You always "seem" to be a very knowledgable person but a few times you clearly show you dont have a clue !

There is no doubt a carefully mapped car without closed loop could be economical but you forget an engine is a dynamic animal that is changing and wearing.
Air filters clog up, bores wear, valve seats leak, injectors clog etc... Closed loop will overcome these slight variations over time to keep the emission spot on.

Dont you think manufacturers map their cars perfectly then add closed loop for fun. ? lol
