Lambda Low Profile Adapter?

[newsh]

Anyone tried one of these? Do they work ok?

My 034 DP has the lambda boss right under the airbox and I'm sick of it wearing through the wires

I thought people used lambda spacers when decatting pre/post cat lambda setups to stop the ecu throwing a code, which would make me think if it alters the reading enough its not a good idea on a lambda sensor you are actually using.

Hmm, you may be right, that 120 degree one would work a treat..

Yeah as Andy says I'm pretty sure lambda sensors have to be mounted fairly vertically to read correctly and prevent condensation damage. The 120 does look like it could work.

[andy10v]

Can you monitor lambda or fuel trim at idle in vag com? You could then try before and after?

I dont think its a good idea, if it alters the reading enough that the ecu does not notice a missing cat.....

Our cars use lambda on cruise and idle iirc?

Actually after looking at the photo's again I don't think I'd want to use either, I can't see how the sensor is going to read accurately when not in the main stream of exhaust gasses.

That's what I was thinking, although the 120 deg one does have a bigger hole..

Maybe I'll just cut a hole in the bottom of the airbox, or take the DP off and add another boss in the right place, was just looking for a lazy option

I've heathen loads for post cat lambdas as its a tell tale for cat performance. They work great for that purpose but will play haVic with pre cat
