Looking for recomendation on Wideband
You won't get EGT from a wideband. The important part of that is the turbine inlet temperature, so you need a sensor in the manifold. I think the AEM and the Innovate systems allow you to daisy-chain devices on one serial loop, so you could add an EGT sensor if you wanted one. If you get a JDM MAP sensor from Mr Fred you can log boost right from the ECU. Oh, and coolant temperature is loggable through the ECU.

And thanks for everyone elses comments, I will look into those few and see what works for what I am doing best.

as a small business would you rather buy and install something that costs several dollars per unit per million or several cents? you get nothing back on your dollar, no improvement in product (performance wise).
I don't like the lack of usb either. The reply I got when I asked why Innovate didn't go to usb was basically what I said.
in a computer a usb is a vital performance part since speed is an issue
The zeitronix unit has the option of a small LCD screen which displays lambda, AFR, EGT, Boost or a 5V user input. HERE is a tutorial I made for my 2G and a video clip (bottom of page) of the screen I mentioned.

Hi,
White/green and blue should be ideally on the same ground, but on separate lugs (if analog outs are used). If you are using EVOSCAN, your laptop is grounded to the engine through the OBDII cable. The LC-1, connected to your computer, is now also grounded through the computer's ground and serial port to both the chassis and engine ground. This is bad. As you are not using the analog outs, tape them off. Same for the analog out ground (green). Connect system ground (white) and and heater ground (blue) to the engine block. In your case you can even use the same lug.
The black wire is not a ground, but the calibration wire connected to pushbutton and LED. If it is not used, tape it off.
Regards,
Klaus
