AFR gauge - Innovate: LC-1, XD-1

Hey guys.. Old thread is reborn again.. I just purchased this unit for my car and am having it installed right now. My question is more of a concern regarding the exhaust temperatures. I have a print out from Mazda that shows some diagnostic information at the time I received a CEL a long time ago. It shows that the CATTEMP value is 1684 degrees!!!
Shouldn’t I be concerned about installing this product if it states that unpredictable results can occur above recommended specs which state as you know..
"The Bosch LSU4.2 wide-band O2 sensor (shipped as part of the LM-1 kit) is rated to operate at an exhaust gas temperature of < 1300 degrees (F), and a sensor housing temperature of < 900 degrees (measured at the bung) for maximum accuracy and control. "
Now with a CATTEMP of over 1650 degrees can this at all be equated to the above specs? I now know why you put so much time and effort into trying to keep it cool...
I am really considering purchasing the extender before I drive my car/put it on the dyno...
Is it possible that wrapping the exhaust in the vicinity of the wideband bung could help with heat as well?
