I just bought a O2 sensor and...

I picked up the Bosch 11027 Premium Oxygen Sensor from Kragen today. I picked it up for $32.00 I remember people talking about a new O2 sensor for like $100.00. First of all I have a 1989 GTUs it's N/A (of course). Will this O2 sensor work? Has anyone used it in there N/A 2nd gen? I would hate to put it on my car and waste 30 bucks. Thanks in advance.

Here is what I noticed upon installation

On installation I noticed a more balanced power curve feeling as well as now my engine felt smoother (some MPG gain...but not much considering my car is an 89 TII, has an 18.2 gallon tank (ish) and only gets me about 350-380 km per tank (217.5-236 miles per tank)

I just installed mine yesterday! The universal bosch o2 sensor right? Heh I got mine for only $26 at Kragen. After replacing the bad and old o2 sensor, I did notice the MPG, and HP gain. It accerlates much smoother, and so far from what I noticed last night, and this morning....I've wasted less gas.

Thanks everyone for the great responses. Looks like this O2 sensor is going to work out great. I promise when I finally finish the car I will finish the update and give allot of different pics for all my installs (suspension, roll cage, etc). Thanks again you guys rock!!

Is that a bolt on one or do you have to cut out your old connector?
