Which reminds me to ask the following question: where's the best
location for the O2 sensor, should it go into the plug hole at the
collector leading into the turbo or should it go into the downpipe just
behind where the wastegate connects up to it? My 200 did not come with
an O2 sensor so I have to have one put in, but where's the best location
for the most accurate readings?
