LC1 in stock O2 location?
Ok guys,
I am taking the dive. MSPNP and LC1 are going in this week. I want to install them and play with them before I get the turbo installed. I know the LC1 sensor is supposed to be installed at least 36" from the turbo. However would it be ok to install the sensor where the stock sensor sits on the manifold for now?

I've been running the car for a couple months NA in the stock 1.6 location. I will move it right in front of the cat when I do the turbo install. I'm not logging tons of miles, so I didn't sweat the head issue. Heatsinks are cheap and easy...like my women.

I run mine in the stock location with a heatsink and have had zero issues. Similarly I know of turbo'd guys using the stock location and a heatsink and have had zero issues.
In an extreme example the UK only, factory BBR Turbo's stock location is 3-4" from the turbine outlet........ With a heatsink in place he didn't have any issues in over 2 years of ownership.
In short fit a heatsink, get your grounds good and you'll be fine.
