Default Wideband o2 and True Dual???

I have searched but I cant really find anywhere... I will be installing a wide band this week but I have a true Dual system coming.... where do I get the bung installed? I know on some cars 1 bank will run a little hotter than another is that the case with our cars? or will any side work? Where is everyone else installing their wideband o2 bungs?

if done after the cat, the display will be leaner correct? basically more outside air mixes with the flow than should normally with the cat slowing the air down a smidge?

Before the cat and make sure to have the bung welded at a slight downward angle so that the moisture can drain out of the O2 sensor. Oh and put it on the driver side bank.

Depends on what system you're using but most have provisions for two sensor modules.

+1

I'm dual wideband now, but when I was single wideband I put it on bank2 (driver's side) since it tends to run a little leaner than bank1.

How about running two Innovate LC-1 Wideband Controllers and monitor them with only 1 XD-16 Innovate gauge check out the Innovate forums they did it: http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/f...ead.php?t=9030

"You can select any of the channels for display, or you can choose to display the leanest, richest, or average of all the AFR channels" the only thing you will lose is the min/max value.
