The instructions anyway say to have the wideband at 900 or less EGT or with a heat sink or move it a couple ft down stream from the turbo. Are you worried about damaging the wideband? It looks like a 12cm housing, which one is that? Did you run the 9cm HY or the 12cm? May have said it and I missed it. I like to remove the silencer from the compressor too to make it more noisy. Really sweet, I wish I had more time for my Rampage. I have been watching your threads close, planning A 2.4 or hybrid with my Mex manifold and new 04 Holset. Sorry for so many questions but I don't want my wideband under my car and some have said the 9cm I have is too small.

I'm seen a lot of posts on your engines over time. Any posts on the Rampage? Suspension setup and so on. What axles are your running now? I know its popular to see the power but I want to see more on how your using it I always make power and then shread my car

I've had egts on my cars before and after the turbo. I found that the 16v head the egt's are cooler then an 8v My car goes dead lean hesitating at about 1400 degrees @ one inch from the port..I'm sure it will be a little cooler after the turbo. I've only had the wide band in there for about 50 runs been ok so far.

Well the reason the k frame is out in the pics is I just put in a Garry Peloquin diff. I run stock suspension with MP front springs. No sway bar and air shocks in the back. The rear leaf springs are now mono leaf, defineately softer then before in the back. But its a weight vs stiffness thing. The biggest consistency change was switchin from 22" tall slicks on 15" wheels to slicks with some sidewall.24.5x13" now... both are/were 8" wide.
I've been using stock axles but have had some issues with them. The rebuilders now have new inner and outer joints on them the inner is bigger then a stock L was so I hope it is stronger too.

After installing the k frame, Lower Holset support bracket, and main exhaust pipe.

I bet it hits a lot harder than a stocker though when will you get track opinions?
