The O2 sensor comment was a bit misleading I thought!!

When you map the car you map it with the wide band infront of the cat so you get a sensible meaningful reading I thought, so the fact the O2 sensor is in front of the CAT on his car, does that actually mean it is in the wrong place or does it mean the car is getting the right reading based on the Map ? (provided it has had a remap )

I thought he meant that the O2 sensor was in the right place if the cat was there in the front like normal, but is in the wrong place now as the cat is way back?

saves people from making the similar mistakes i guess, would be interesting to see how many of our cars would fare in the 'mod inspection'

unless you do the work yourself do you actually get under the car/in the engine to check that it's done properly..........
