Ordered it thismorning, complete with box, sensor, and digital display.
touch me. I know you want to.
I spent more than i should and it'll postpone the turbo install by about another month, but i think in the long run i'll thank myself.
I figure with the wideband, i really dont need my A/F ratio meter anymore, nor do i need fuel pressure or EGT for that matter, but i think i'll keep my EGT gauge
Im getting a wideband setup

i decided to go ahead and keep both anyways.
I dont THINK that wideband sensors use the same voltage range as regular o2 sensors, making an off-the-shelf A/F gauge and a wideband o2 sensor incompatible, but don't quote me on that.
Instead of having an A/F gauge, i'll have an easy-to-read number telling me my exact A/F ratio at any given time

Is it a techedge? I've got version 1.5. It can do narrowband simulation - which means you can ditch the stock 02. Narrow band runs on 0-1V range, wideband on 0-5V range. I have not tried the narrowband simulationI would keep the EGT too. When used in conjunction with the wideband, you can get a decent idea of how timing is effecting your engine.

im thinking of getting a wideband since i will be doing my own tuning once i get my turbo. where are some places u guys bought urs? ive been searching around and have seen prices of up to $1000 which is way out of my price range. do u think i could get a complete wideband set-up w/ sensor and display for 400-500 bucks?
nice that will save me a ton of money! i prolly wont get a wideband until late august earliest, but if i have no problem assembling the wideband, ill ask if anyone on the forums wants me to assembly the DIY kit for them for cheaper. ill prolly post about this after i get the set-up in a couple months.
AEM just came out with a wideband unit w/o the display utilizing the Bosch LSU 4 O2 sensor for around $400 including sensor and control unit. This is another affordable option besides the techedge unit considering how the prices of NTK sensors have skyrocketed. All this unit needs is a display unit and you are all set.
Wideband <-- there are 2 oxygen sensors ( to I know ) in this world that able to do wideband. NTK ( or re-badge Borch/Echilin) L1H1 and Borch LSU.
If you are using "normal" oxygen sensor, which is a narrowband, save yourself some money, and get a $30 A/F gauge. Narrowband oxygen sensor don't give you accurate A/F ratio.
