Do I need one per bank, or can I assume both banks are performing equally by stock O2 sensor readings?

Re: Tuning after turbo install
If you're gonna tune it yourself, you're gonna need the WB. If you get HPTuners, get the enhanced i/o, and an Innovate LC-1. You'll be able to log the afr at all times, it's a pretty sweet setup. I actually have the LM-1, but from I heard you could use the LC-1 and it's cheaper.

Are wideband O2 sensors threaded the same as OEMs? Or am I going to have to remove one of my headers and weld a bung onto it... that'll be a blast.

HA!! Way to go me. Damn, I wasted all of that time typing a bunch of stuff you can't use!
Anyway, I had to weld in a bung for my narrowband. I put mine in the y-pipe. Now I'm gonna stop typing...

It only takes one oops in the tune and its rebuild time.
