Ok, Thanks for the replies. I am running N/A with no nitrous, and like I said in the beginning, all the cats are still in place, including the cats in the headers and the main cat after the y-pipe. Everything is, for the most part, stock including the stock tune.
I am mostly installing this for cosmetic reasons, but I am still curious as to how all of this works.
I still dont understand the difference between wide-band and narrow-band.... does 'band' refer to the voltage output range, the response time, or the range of oxygen quantities?
IF it is true what you say about the nitrous, where the stock unit is not "fast" enough to keep up with actual changes, then the band must refer to the bandwidth(or response time) of the output... meaning the voltage output lags quite a bit behind the actual levels in the exhaust. The slow bandwidth (narrow-band) has inherent filtering which sort of averages out (overdamps) the voltage output. Is this a correct statement?
Thanks!
