Hmm decisions, decisions.

The only possible problem I see with the Megan adaptor is that it doesn't put the tip of the sensor as deep into the exhaust flow as a stock elbow or a fatty. I haven't seen the stock adaptor so I don't know.
We're still trying to figure out which is which, for all those inquiring Zilvian minds.

The zirconium dioxide, or zirconia, lambda sensor is based on a solid-state electrochemical fuel cell called the Nernst cell. Its two electrodes provide an output voltage corresponding to the quantity of oxygen in the exhaust relative to that in the atmosphere. |
I only see one wire output for the sensor signal. Where does the other electrode go? Also, when you blow electrons at the ECU, this current triggered, not voltage triggered. Remember that electrons go from (-) to (+).

I don't see how a single sensor can both suck and blow. Can you explain?
How do you know if the skinny is not a Nernst cell?
