Free air and heater cal before each use, and you should be good to go.  Once I learned that quirk, it became pretty easy when going from car to car.

i always calibrate before tuning. i just mean getting the wideband working with crome on multiple cars always sucks. maybe i will get an o2 plug and put it on the output wire so i can just plug it in to the stock harness

I use an OBD1 to OBD1 jumper harness, and I made a power supply harness for the LC-1 that allows me to attach the grounds to the t-stat housing as well.

With as many weird o2 sensor problems (heater,pump,etc.) as I see on vw/porsche, none of this suprises me.  The standard wideband for the lc-1 is the same wideband vw has used for years.  Do they have o2 problems?  Yeah, but most of em end up being heater problems. Not the actual sensing components of the unit.
That jives with my experiances with them. The most common error code for a bad sensor on my lm-1 is "heater open"
