Bung of Fd for Wideband
How would I go about installing a bunge for a wideband on my downpipe? Do I buy the female adapter with the correct NPT and weld it? I know enough welders to do it, thats why I ask, I plan to put it on the bottom as well so its easy access. If there is another way, that would be better for w/e reason let me know. Should I also ask where I plan to go dyno how they measure AFRs? I was planning to anyways.

First of all, you need to have a wideband controller such as the Innovative LM-1, which I have. It has a feature to put out a signal to the ecu so you don't need the stock sensor. I just put my wideband sensor in the original bung because my particular controller has this feature. If you choose a different setup that requires both the stock sensor and the wideband, you just weld an o2 bung between 9 and 3 o'clock. DO NOT put it facing down, that way water condenses on it and can damage it, according to the manual that came with my kit.

Sounds like you have the right idea... You can buy the bung here for $4.95. It's also a good idea to buy this to plug the hole when the sensor's not in.
See attached pic of my DP. The bung is positioned between 10 and 11 o'clock to allow easy install/removal with a 22mm open-ended wrench. I used a 1" bit to drill the hole for the bung. When choosing the sensor location, be sure it will clear the cat air-injection pipe.
