Default Bosch vs OEM . . .

ok, i need a new o2 sensor. i know this topic has been covered a lot, and i searched, but how well will a bosch "oem series" do on a FI application? i am going to be running a very mild turbo set-up in the near future, so im not sure if a bosch will hold up. i know that bosch makes oem honda sensors right? please, only those who have had first hand experience post.

well, I have a bosch o2 sensor, but my civic isnt boosted, so the only difference i can see is that I saved about $240 by not buying the OEM one.

I bought the Bosch one and it crapped out on me less than 2 days later. You can get the OEM ones from a junkyard or another member on here for like 45-50 bucks. I would honestly just say pick up the OEM one.

No. It is not as sensetive and from my personal experience won't even get rid of the CEL. I seriously would get the OEM sensor from someone on here if you don't want to spend then 200 bucks that Honda wants for it.

Get up with Eli_Vang in my signature. He always has a bunch and will sell them to you for like 50 bucks or so.
