Lately I've been hearing through the facebook grapevine of 550i O2 sensors being recommended for single turbo use.
Then someone else told me they are the same as ADV, but I'm not sold on that claim. Realoem indicates they are...
Thought I'd make a thread to collect some data on O2 sensor options for the single turbo peeps. As everyone knows, 2-bank fueling logic forces ST kits to place the pre-cat O2s in the manifold between the head and turbine, exposing them to extremely harsh high temperature and positive pressure...
No idea what the hell is causing this anymore. The codes were involving both post-cat o2 sensors and pre-cat o2 sensors with lamba/mixture errors. I replaced both back o2 sensors and the front o2 sensor that was giving codes, they still appeared. At this point I assumed it had to do with my car...
On my last car, even though the 2nd cat codes were turned 'off' I needed the o2 sensor installed and plugged in to maintain proper fuel trims, not only did it need to be there but it could not be in a 'extended o2 tricker' housing. Had to be in the exhaust flow directly. I would get +12%-+18%...
Full FBO and MHD Wedge Tune. Was getting super duper shitty gas mileage - we talking 12mpg...
