If you can solder or if you just want the cheapest one possible look at Jaw WBo2.

I have a innovative lc-1, I wouldn't recommend it cause they shipped a large number with a micro-controller defect and refuse to replace it unless they can duplicate the problem with their 6 hour test or whatever, but the problem is intermittent and only happens to me every couple of weeks. Their customer service sucks and the techsupport people are d!ck and assume everything that goes wrong is due to installation error even though people will have theirs up and running for months without problems. You don't have to believe me, just look at innovatives own lc-1 forum.

Another good option is the AEM WBo2, I heard it's rock solid reliable but not as accurate as either Jaw or Innovative's various ones.

The megasquirt guys are also working on a WBo2 so you might want to check it out...

So in summary:Jaw WBo2 (Awesome price, accuracy, not good for ease of use or "flashiness."

Innovative Products (Awesome accuracy, not bad price, Reliability and Customer service suck STAY AWAY)

AEM (ok accuracy, reliable)

Megasquirt (not sure read into it.)

AEM is a good company. Everyone I know loves Innovative.

Zeitronix if you have a lap top! Its so much more than just a wideband o2 system. It will data log your AFRs, RPMs, TPS, EGT, and Boost, as well as a 0-5 volt input(you can use your MAF or your knock sensor).

Well if it died, died then they sort of have to.Mine had intermittent problem where analog outputs would just die but work fine after calibration. They said they couldn't find the problem in their 6 hour test or whatever, but it took weeks to happen.

I thought about breaking it and then rma'ing it, but I'm not that dis-honest.
