You should be fine as you have the same sensor I now have. The one delivered with the LC2 was the problem. Two of them, not one, did the same thing. Without changing anything (wiring, ground points, etc) but the sensor for a genuine Bosch 17025, everything has been fine for months. I highly suspect the sensor that comes with the LC2 is not a genuine Bosch sensor as it's missing the laser etching and is just a *bit* different in some very minor stuff, but I have no other proof to back up the claim.

Also LC2 with Bosch 4.2, no issues even after letting it sit idle in the downpipe for nearly a year. I bought like 4 sensors when Advanced Auto had them on super sale plus I had a coupon.
I'm sure all the oil in my exhaust is keeping it well protected

Nevermind. I think you just need the firmware upgrade:
Bosch LSU 4.2 and LSU 4.9 Multi-Sensor Support

Only good to 120psi. Still looking for something that will handle more boost.

It will need to be surfaced anyways after welding. So whats the point...
I'll just use an endmill. And it will seal just fine. or it might leak a teeny bit. but who really cares...
We also have a huge planer at work, might ask one of the guys to run it.
