So ive had my PLX-M300 in for about 6000 miles. and im starting to notice that compared to my plugs its reading about 1.5-2 points off. it used to run 11.3-11.7 and through consistent tuning ive been slowly leaning it out. but ive been watching my plugs as well. And now their getting pretty bright white but the wideband is showing 11.5ish. So i fattened it back up according to the plugs and the WB is now at 10.1ish. Im running the sensor about 16" fron the turbo in the open downpipe that dumps right where the factory exhaust manifold used to bolt up with the exhaust. So does thing normaly happen with the bosch sensors or should i be worried about something bigger?

how is the sensor orientated in the exhaust? we had issues on a buddies car when the sensor was on the side of the exhaust....put it vertical, and it never has killed another sensor.

i havent had a single problem with my PLX, yet

hmm....ya mine is horizontal. And the oem is just like it was stock, vertical. Im already plnning on buying a new sensor. Should it be closer to the turbo. its about an inch from the opening at the end of the downpipe, or is it fine. Like i said its about 16" from the turbo.

too close to the turbine can actually be bad, too much heat or whatever. i used to have mine about 5" from the turbo and i was blowing through sensors in less than 1000 miles, now i run mine right where you say yours is, between the firewall and the halfshaft and havent had any problems.


is there a way to recalibrate with the plx? i just went to a plx from an innovate lm-1 and i wonder if we can recalibrate to solve the issue//???
