Default wideband bung

I'm going to install a wideband bung in my stock y pipe to facilitate future wideband tuning. Where should the bung be placed. I know it should be in either the 2 o'clock or 10 o'clock position, but where on the y pipe is the best place? After both cats, right before the joint at the cat-back, or some other place?

I don't think it really maters to much. I have a STS and I put mine clear back there, so it was after the turbo and it seem to read well and is very responsive. Every thing I have heard said it needed to be after the turbo, but your supercharged, so I don't thing it's all the critical where you put it. You will get a better average of the motor if it is sampling from both pipes, but unless you have a problem with one side of the motor, then that won't mater anyway.

Right before the cat back joint on the y pipe will be fine.

10 or 2 0'clock is right as long as you have 4" or more of clearance from bung for the sensor.

What about if you have true duals. Im thinking about getting one from a gp on tech and mounting it at the y just isnt an option for me.

I removed the rear O2 on the drivers side and replaced it with the wideband O2.

If at all possible, put it before the cat as it will have a more acurate reading there than after. When I had true duals, I had the sensor on the driver side just after my header collector. Now with the new single setup, I have it just after my Y-junction and it reads about the same as it did running on one bank.

What kind of sensor are you guys using? And where are you buying them from?

Thanks
