Default o2 sensor position in downpipe?? how far from turbo

what is the closest i should put my 02 sensor to the downpipe? im going to run my exhaust out the front driver bumper and im going to be using a 16" resonator which would mean my 02 sensor would be like 8" from the turbo. is this ok or not? im pretty sure i read somewhere that the sensor needs to be at least 12" inches from the turbo. let me know

dsm's come stock with the o2 housing bolted to the turbo with the o2 sensor in it maybe a few inches away from the turbo. Of course nobody ever said they were reliable. I don't think they have any problems burning up o2 sensors though.

There has to be at least some time lag difference between the two locations. Even if its only milliseconds. However I have mine in the stock location. Lots of space and easily access to the wire harness.
