WTB/T Known good turbo o2 sensor

I think my o2 sensor's dead, that's my best guess, but I'm not sure, so I don't want to spend $100 on a new one that may or may not fix my horrible gas mileage.
I'm willing to buy, but would prefer to trade for legacy central stickers. Lemme know.

Laurel...it's either your O2 sensor or your car severly hates you!!!
btw...you don't need a turbo specific one...just a 3 wire...with preferably the cute little plug on the end to facilitate easy installation...however...doesn't your ricey downpipe have the o2 in a different location? Requiring changing of wire length.
If I get the SS fixed this week I will go to the jy and steal like 5 sensors and mail them to you

I hope this fixes it. I think that's why the car's so slow too. It's dumping massive amounts of fuel in. It's definitely not burning everything

Yeah, look at it this way...when my O2 went out, I was getting 13mpg at best, then when I put a new one in, that jumped to 26.5mpg, and the car ran a lot better...

Just keep turning up your boost until it burns everything
Sorry couldn't resist

didn't show up, I didn't want to bother you about it not being here, figured that you had forgotten or had gotten caught up in something else. I just realized, maybe the postal workers think that you're a terrorist. A guy who's middle eastern shipping a package with lots of wires, sounds like a mail bomb

I'm not Middle Eastern, and I don't really look that much like a terrorist anymore. Hmph.
PM me your mailing address one last time.

Wouldn't an N/A oxygen sensor work the same?

Yes, it would. If you use an OEM-replacement NA sensor you just have to tie away all the excess wire, because the NA sensor has a longer harness.

the extra wire would probably be good, as my o2 sensor bung on the perrin dp is way at the end.
