Wideband info
EDIT: Ignore me, late night tardness. I realized that the LC-1 comes with a serial connector, you would just need a serial to USB adapter, find a 2 port hub and you're in business.

Just bought a used but good condition Viliv S5, like the one Bryan has in his pics above. Can't wait to get it configured so I can put it in the car.
Quick question... how would I properly monitor AFR with a PC like this? would I need a separate gauge for the wideband?

I run an AEM personally, only because the Zeitronix and Innovative aren't easy to come by in Canada. I've heard great things about either brand. Those mini-pc setups above are awesome. I run my gauges using a Rexpeed pillar pod. The pod does the trick, but fitment leaves something to be desired. I had to modify the rexpeed pillar and the OEM pillar fairly extensively to get it to fit the way I wanted. I cut holes into the OEM pillar for the cables to pass through it, then sanded the whole pillar so that 3M mounting tape would stick. I then used the tape to fix the Rexpeed pillar to the OEM pillar. I also had to do some careful cutting along the base of the Rexpeed pillar so it would fit nicely. It looks pretty close to stock now, but before that it looked pretty terrible (so bad in fact that I could have made a pillar with cardboard and packing tape that would have looked better).
Not only that, but I'm not sure I trust the added weight of the gauges onto the pillar if the airbag were to deploy, the gauges themselves may even fly out. That's just like putting the license plate in your windshield... not a good idea, lol.
My tuner and I highly prefer AEM Digital Widebands just because of simplicity - since any high-end wideband will have similar accuracy/function. It's accurate, fast, and gives a simple analog serial output - no fuss/complication with "unique" stuff like the others. Plus I can get matching boost, temp, etc gauges
granted all that extra fuss/complication is not a big deal to some, but evoscan just needs a basic serial -> USB. I don't care if other widebands have their own cool solution for providing output - wire it and be done. Nothing against the other options and those that like them - I just like that it's simple to work with, hi-tech look, and matching options
