Question PFC <<reads>> from map sensor ?? Correct ?

Guys
i'm planning to order a wide-band for my car (single turbo in the furure ). As i know PFC , reads , from the map sensor , not from lamda . So , can i , replace the stock 02 lamda sensor from the downpipe , with this one of the wide-band . Any problem ?
thanks.

Nope, especially since most wideband controllers will simulate a narrowband o2 sensor reading to send to the ecu for fuel economy/emission purposes.

However, most widebands require the sensor to be placed relatively vertical and also close placement to the turbos shortens the life of the sensor and may cause accuracy issues. The best solution is to keep your narrowband o2 sensor and install a new bung for the wideband sensor at the bottom of the downpipe where it flattens out to horizontal.

Nope, not yet, but I've done a hell of a lot of research on the topic...
