It has to get hot enough to burn off any carbon deposits, otherwise you'll be forever replacing sensors.

My sensors (Bosch LSU 4.2) are lasting 4 years before they begin to drift out of calibration. I use a Tech edge 2j1 controller, so I can simply unscrew the sensor & run it's free air calibration to re-calibrate an ageing sensor.
Not to troll or anything. If cardon build up is caused by sensor being to far from turbo. Why tuner place o2 sensor at the end of exhaust?
