RE: [T3] Needle mixture meter

["Erkson, Toby" <toby.erkson@intel.com>]

<x-charset iso-8859-1>Key indicator, Jim, is the "QP muffler".  That means an after-market exhaust
header and those are merged, thus setting up a nice mounting point to poke
the sensor in to :)

So, on a T3 it's very easy if using an after-market exhaust system.  The
mounting would be as far past the piping merge as can be and a heated O2
sensor should be used.
