Sensor Installation
NOTE: The compatible O
2
sensor and bung are not included with the Sensor
Docking Station and must be purchased separately. See page 37 for more
information about purchasing the correct sensor.
If your vehicle has a stock oxygen sensor, it may be possible to
replace it with the Bosch sensor that is compatible with the Sensor
Docking Station. Check your vehicle owner’s manual or consult
a professional at your dealership or local muffler shop for more
information.
If you are not replacing the stock oxygen sensor on your vehicle, a
full oxygen sensor installation will be required. Please note:
Basic Steps to Install an O
2
Sensor
1. Choose a location for the sensor. (Consult the
manufacturer’s specifications for your vehicle and the
oxygen sensor for more information.)
2. Cut a hole for the sensor. (For best results, use an oxygen
cutter.)
3. Weld the bung to the hole.
4. Mount the sensor in the prepared hole.
5. Connect the sensor to the Sensor Docking Station (for
more information, see page 36).
Installing an O
2
sensor can be difficult because the exhaust
manifold or post-turbo exhaust downpipe must be drilled
and tapped. Welding may also be required. Bully Dog
recommends that you utilize professional assistance if you
have not had experience with these procedures.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Prevent damage to the O
2
sensor from water
condensation by installing it at an angle (10° up from horizontal).
