wide band o2
about to fit a wide band, not sure yet whether Im going to use the simulated narrow band output or run it in conjunction with the std. o2 sensor.
if I decide to fit it as a replacement for the std. one then the location is easy, neck of downpipe.
however, my downpipe only has one boss and the only other boss available is in the headers.
is it ok to fit wbo2 to the headers or will it give spurious readings?

Put the WB in place of the standard NB sensor, and bin the OE item 
Although the simulated 0-1V signal is not identical to the Subaru sensor's signal, I think that many people use it without any issues.

If you want to retain the standard one, then you'll have to weld a bung on somewhere after the turbo. 
( I shall probably stick it on the centre section on my car - not ideal though)
I can't see why using the NBSim output would be an issue on a PFC against any other ecu?

If i could fake it could i get my car through the idle test on mot? Variable resistor?

The MOT test actually measure the amount of CO and HC in your exhaust, by putting a probe into it....so, you meddling with the lamda sensor output is going to do nothing to help you pass the MOT. It will only confuse the **** out of your ECU
