  1. http://www.bosch-motorsport.de/pdf/sensors/lambda/LSU49.pdf



    That's a bosch pdf. Page 3 gives installation hints and one of these is "Install at a point where the gas is as hot as possible."



    Bare in mind the maximum temperature that the probe above should reach is 1030°C (which is a post turbo temp, pre turbo would likely be 100/150°C higher) and if you're often running over 1000°C post turbo something else will probably fail before the lambda does.



    Guess it all depends on the make and model of the probe.

  2. So are we talking metric or imperial? 36 inches away from the turbo will be nowhere near the downpipe; it'll be somewhere in the exhaust system.

    Personally I can't see the problem with the lambda being closer as, and correct me if I'm wrong, the factory lambda probe is right next to the turbo outlet on most aftermarket downpipes.
