if you plan on putting a wideband in the stock o2 bung, take both o2 sensors off, run both stock narrowbands or none at all.

You can install the WB in the passenger side (bank 1) O2 bung, and feed the ECM with the NB simulation analog output from the WB controller for that cylinders bank. This is how I've set it for tuning with the TwEECer and have been able to keep fuel trim oscillation between ±4% (centered at 0%) on both banks.

well i am looking into leaving both o2 sensors in if that is better but i will put a 2nd bung just behind 1 of the other ones. would that be the best way to do it? and is the passenger side the side i should put it on or should i have 2 bungs installed and just plug the one im not using at that time so if i buy another sensor or i can swap sides and monitor that side also?

not all widebands have a narrowband simulation.

I would recommend the stock location aswell & using the analog output to the eec, then set it to the narrowband settings.

If the controller doesn't have an analog output I would get a different one that does. I don't know of too many that don't though.

I would only drill another hole & weld a bung in if you already bought it & it doesn't have the output to simulate narrowband.
