What's the suckey system?
I tried a crankcase exhaust venturi without success on the quantum, even tried a vac pump

Crankcase breathers piped to inlet manifold or carb, vacuum from engine sucks breather gasses in

Hi Hans,
well I bought one of these LCB manifolds, complete with two lambda sensor mounting points - which one should I use for the probe - top or bottom?
Am considering one of these gauges: http://www.efi-parts.co.uk/index.php?productID=204

BTW, i have fixed the excessive fumes in the engine bay by replacing all the Crankcase breather pipes and making sure there are no air leaks in that part of the system as well as refitting the stock air cleaner box with a KN filter - thus restoring the closed breather system !

Cheers
Dave

I suppose that one will do the job. I bought this one:

Here for sale:

I think I even got it a bit cheaper, something like 180 euros. It works awesome.
The best would be the lowest position because it senses the fumes from all cylinders. But I couldn't get it in, there is not enough room in the tunnel. That's why mine is at the high position, but now it only checks the inner cylinders. I know not all cylinders get the same fuel mixture due to the difference in intake lengths, but I have to do with it.
Here a few pics of the installation:
