I know they plan to use sniffers for the AFR and longray since I know next to nothing on cats ...it's interesting that they recommend mounting the wideband after the cat?
Leading evidence: 'Recommend mounting the wideband' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Recommend mounting the wideband' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

During testing, a wideband O2 sensor could replace the O2 sensor you already have in place today...

Suggestion
RoW cars would have extra ports pre or post cat avail that are bunged b/c they run fewer O2 sensors.

Suggestion · Original poster
If I remove the stock O2 sensor to insert a wideband for testing would that not make my car run worse during testing?

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

I was just trying to figure out how these dyno's get a good wideband O2 reading without welding in a bungie and was hoping the backpressure test port would work temporarily.

In my opinion I think I can use my Durametric and log (stock narrowband O2's) during testing and comparing to the dyno readouts for future tune readings once the car is in tune I do not see the reason to keep looking at a gauge.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

My car (2000 996 manual) goes in for dyno testing using a Mustang Dyno and need to take O2 readings and was wondering if my cats have an extra hole in the pipe for a wideband sensor that can be used. I think I recall seeing a plug in one of them awhile back.
IIRC the small port you are talking about is the backpressure test port.
During testing, a wideband O2 sensor could replace the O2 sensor you already have in place today...
I'm surprised with your FI you aren't already running one to monitor your AFR...

I was just trying to figure out how these dyno's get a good wideband O2 reading without welding in a bungie and was hoping the backpressure test port would work temporarily. At this point I can just use my nose as my AFR and man is it rich. In my opinion I think I can use my Durametric and log (stock narrowband O2's) during testing and comparing to the dyno readouts for future tune readings once the car is in tune I do not see the reason to keep looking at a gauge. Although the gauge is enticing.
From the WEVO IV install manual...
For temporary use during dyno tuning, you can
mount the Bosch wide-band sensors in place of
the original equipment rear oxygen sensors (after
the catalytic converter). You can also use sniffers
in the tailpipe. For permanent mounting, 18 x 1.5
mm weld nuta must be welded onto the exhaust
pipe.
I know they plan to use sniffers for the AFR and longray since I know next to nothing on cats ...it's interesting that they recommend mounting the wideband after the cat? Great info guys saves me a few bucks.
