Innovative LM-1 wideband, life of sensor?

This is what I'm talking abouthttp://innovatemotorsports.com/lm1.php

If so how long has your o2 sensor lasted? My first sensor lasted the first month if that long. I have only driven the car 500 or so miles. I also mounted it 22 inches fron the turbo. Of course I have done alot of tunning on it but notting incredibly rich. Every once in a while I will get a small back fire, will that hurt the o2 sensor. 50 something bucks for a new sensor is going to get expensive after a while. Anyone have a similar problem. I also get the pump open error once in a while, but the sensor just read once in a while or dashes on the display. Nick

Hmmm... the one I have I've only used for testing purposes and it's the same model as yours. I would keep it in all the time but problem is, you have to recalibrate it every so often. I wonder if there's one where you calibrate it once and never mess with it again. I would like to get rid of my retarted narrow band POS O2 sensor. Anyway if it really only lasts a month, man that blows. How could you tell it's bad? Mine still seems to work just fine but total time of usage is probably only 3 hours of test time.

Yeah they dont' have a long life span at all. Thats why I only use mine for tuning, I've probably only put like 75 miles on mine.
