Just wondering - as I've only had them on single turo applications????

It think I may set up two for tuning, make sure each bank is acceptable AFR etc, then just plud up the bungs afterward.

I just really need to see my AFR / EGT on anthing FI, not sure if running one on each header is worth it.

Oh, it's supercharged - with a borla true dual

The only option you asked about that is really mandatory would be a single wideband on one or the other bank. Whatever is happeneing on one side is happening on the other. I wouldn't bother with EGT.

I believe they are batch fire and iff not most aftermarket systems do not allow you to tune "req fuel" on a cylinder by cylinder basis, so just one WB is all you nee,d the EGT is more of a turbo health thing, not really a tuning tool

The EGT gauge is used for tuning ignition timing. Pulling timing increases EGT.

Werd....I'll probably stick with one WB, no EGT until I get my turbo setup (well if I get my turbo setup )

I've got access to a Dyno next door, and some really good tuners that will help me out.

I've never used an EGT for tuning, but I'll definately research that. I may put one in now to test that theory, thought EGT's and WB's are friggin expensive
