Where is the best place to weld in O2 bung for an A/F gauage?
Im just wondering where the best place to have the O2 sensor bung welded in. Headers? Down pipe? Muffler pipes? Or does it really even matter?

You don't have a bung on your header/downpipe/exhaust manifold (whatever you have) already? Or are you welding in a second one? Is this for a narrowband AF gauge or wideband?

Hasn't it been said that the closer to the exhuast port on the engine, the better?
For a turbo setup I would think the best and easiest place to put it would be right at the begining of the downpipe. You don't want to drill a hole in the exhaust manifold and put it there, and its also not gonna work if its a divided manifold.

maybe I thought that since where you mount a A/F gauge is basically the same on all engines and since my car is a RX7 and this forum is titled RX7CLUB.COM that I could get some help with a very basic question which could be easily awnsered by anyone with an A/F gauge, but thanks for you advice, Wankel7 too bad you are so ignorant

Haven't we ALL heard this
Since you said it is a narrow band just put it where every other car make puts it... close to the exhaust port.
Kinda a waste of money on buying that narrow band meter.
Never the less....rx7club is a rotary forum....
not a piston forum
You don't like my opinion....i dont like yours.....
Gotta love the internet

for wideband I would place it at my midpipe probably or maybe even further than that so that the heat isn't as bad as close the turbo thus making the sensor last a hole lot longer. Other than that if it's a narrow band you can place it I believe 2 to 3" away from the exhaust manifold.
