i know the tuner will use the factory wideband...but for my peace of mind i like to monitor the A/F and knock every day or chance i get to go to the track but i got a scan gauge that reads short time and long time know live..so in not worry bout how to read the know i got that covered .....for my experience on turbo cars anything time is was really cold outside it will boost a little more because the temperature and the density of the air....and the reason i ask bout 2 sensors for accurate reading!!is because lets say i install the sensor on the left side test pipe and one of the injectors on the right side is not working right when im wide open throttle ..it will be leaner on one side more then the other!!...that's why i ask to see if there a wide band out there that has 2 sensors and one combine accurate reading

That's where I put mine. You kill the sensor fast but if you don't want to uninstalled and plug the hole all the time just leave it and replace the $69 sensor every now and again.
I'd hope if an injector goes your dash will tell you faster then your gauge will as you sit there going "that doesn't look right, wonder whats going on?" Not to mention the huge drop in power you'll feel before anything.
If you're going to do it, do it. Install as close as possible but within the collector and not in an individual runner.
