I know there is threads on this product already but non of them have answered this question.
The Zeitronix has a simulated narrowband. Does this mean I can get rid of my narrowband O2 sensor and screw the wideband in right where the narrowband was? Will the car run okay and everything? Will it read right?

you have to be careful how close you put the wideband o2 because you can cause damage to it from it being to close to the head.

yea if it has a 5v you can use that to send the signal to the ecu.

Would being in the turbo manifold be too close for the sensor?

The simulated Narrowband is not necessarily what you think. You can't eliminate the narrowband sensor. What the simulated Narrowband switching does is that it allows the Zeitronix unit to alter the signal sent to the ECU. Basically it means that you can turn the switching point richer or leaner than the 14.7 that is standard. If you lower it, you set it richer than 14.7, you can cover up idling issues caused by big cams or other major mods, whereas setting it leaner than 14.7 allows the car to save fuel during cruising by leaning out the motor slightly. At vacuum conditions, this has no effect on the motor, nor does it cause any significant increase in EGT's.
So, the short answer is No, you can't pull the narrowband sensor, just modify its signal.
