if I were to buy a wideband o2 sensor, do I still keep my stock one? I know I would weld in a new bung but I was wondering do I run the wideband signal to the ecu or if the wideband is strictly for the gauge? Im just wondering because my o2 sensor went out and if I could upgrade to wideband then I would but if I still need a narraowband I will just get that...
noob question. O2 sensor.

Or, to be more helpful...
The ECU cannot use a wideband signal, however, you CAN get a converter box which will put out a wideband signal for your gauge, or datalogger, and simulate a narowband for your ECU.
In that event, you no longer need the stock sensor.

thanks. thats kinda what i assumed. Where could I find one of the converter box? AEM?

Your going to have to weld in a bung anyways considering the factory 02 sensor uses a 2 bolt flange instead of threads like the wideband. That is assuming you have a factory downpipe of an aftermarket downpipe without a bung welded in.

read my first post. I said I know i have to weld a new bung in. tell me something useful.
The converters aren't as fast as the real O2, so tuning can be a chore from what I've been told...
And nope, if you hunt around, there are adapters for the 2 bolt flange to the normal screw in, but you shouldn't run a WB that close to the turbo anyway...

the only reason I asked is because my stock one went out and if I could by a wideband and kill 2 birds with one stone then I would... but I cant so ill just buy a new stock one and a wideband.
