great find at the salvage yard!

I went to the junkyard today to get an o2 sensor, and decided to pick up a throttle body while i was at it so I could do the TB mod w/o screwing mine up. so I picked a 7 and went at it, thing was a bitch to get off, but when I got it off, i realized that the TB mod had already been done!! SCORE!!! AND, I got a like new o2 sensor from the same car... some days you get lucky!

Here comes a newb question...

I understand that the O2 Sensor is to do with exhaust and emitions etc...
But what exactly does it do? does it just monitor your exaust?

we have an import junk yard here and there are about 5 TII's that all have engines. about 10 NA S4's and even a GTUs (its the ONLY S5 on the yard) there are about 25 SA's and FB's. no FDs though. all the cars have engines too... kinda weird that no one has raped them

I went to do the TB mod and to my surprise i found out that it had already been done. Sweet. So i polished it and ground out some metal in there.

they all have a full drivetrain. now that i think of it there are only like 3 turboII's all the rest are GXL's and ****. but the 3 turboII's have full drivetrain (if i remember) and full engine. i dont think any of them run, but they all have turbos as well and a couple have intercoolers. most of the engine bay is there (all of the important stuff atleast).
