I have the zpi spipe and they moved the bung down closer the the cat. I welded my wideband bung to the spipe where the stock bung location normaly is on the spipe. The mbc goes between the wastgate and compressor. You can see mine wire tied to the clip near the wastgate. It is brass.

Readings are accurate. My plx m300 directions say to install the bung 24 inches from the turbo. On the spipe is perfect plus less wear and tear on the sensor. I am at 10.4 to 11 afr at wot running just over 9psi.

Awesome Yamaha! Looking forward to seeing the final product installed and hear how much you love it. I got my kit a few days ago, just waiting on local shop to be able to install it! I look at the box every night and just get excited!

You and me, Scion Drag Night 3.0. That's right I called you out. GReddy vs. Turbonetics. I think it will be a good race seeing how that $50 can come in handy (like pay for gas).
