theres heat them selfs, and need to be at least 36 inches away from the blower. I can never remember what they call them, I think these are classed as hot ones.

heated

mines about 6" from the turbo and seems to be holding up fine

Did you not read your Manual that came with the gauge mate

The manual says 36'' from exhaust valve,which is sort of in the downpipe?Any further and it's hanging under the car.

'Where does the engine go?'

Do they quote a temperature?

The Innovate LC-1 uses the Bosch LSU4 wideband sensor and that has a maximum temperature rating of 500 deg C.

EDIT: AEM use the same sensor so should be the same rating.

yes I would have said that's why it shouldn't be to close to turbo.

I had a narrow band in my elbow for years, and never had a problem - don't know that i'd wont to risk it on a Wideband however!!!

Yes dave the narrow band needs the heat from the gases, which would expalin why it was ok.

I've only ever used a 4-wire sensor Matt - non heated elements really aren't worth messing with.
No-one could ever tell me 'not' to put the sensor in the elbow - of course nowadays everyone else is a genius LOL. As i said - it worked just fine. :)

instructions are for girls :-p

as i say it seems fine, time will tell.

I'll put my narrowband in the elbow. If it breaks, I'll be blaming you David!

my wideband is in the elbow about 6" from the turbine wheel, no bother in a good few thousand miles. LC-1 for what its worth, tho i think the aem uses the same sensor!?

mines down by the gear linkage, made running the wires back inside the car easier too.

Well the proof is in the pudding, and yours are both holding up well, maybe i'll move mine them I stand well corrected.

Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM
