Default O2 oxygen wideband sensor position in downpipe

Hello I have searched on this topic a little with no clear answer. I will be fabbing my own 3" downpipe soon and would like to know if anyone has any insight on o2 sensor positioning.

I have seen many people mount their wideband and stock o2 sensors close the the turbine housing and I have also seen some people use the regular stock location right before the cat. My main concerns are being able to get an accurate reading on my wideband (innovate lc-1) with out worrying about heat or fouling sensors.

Any input would be greatly appreciated

Atleast 18" away from the turbine... My bung is where the stock one was.

if your mounting more then one arent you suppose to "stagger" them between 10 and 2 or something like that? Anybody else mount theirs differently?

Just stick it right before the cat so that you have a full reading of all 4 cylinders.
