The Lambda is in the manifold, deffo, not the downpipe on early cars.

Your talking cat on fire sensor, which is not needed.

Its worth moving the lambda to the post turbo position so i'm told.

No, cat on fire sensor is 6" tops away from the turbo.

If original, the lambda is in the drivers side bank manifold before the up-pipe connection.

Of that year there are only 2 sensors, lambda and cat on fire.

They are in the positions already stated.
