The wideband is a better step than an A/F Gauge. I think they basically tell you the same thing, only the Wideband tells you in Digits and not Colors and the Wideband is more Accurate since you would have to tap into the Downpipe instead of running off the ECU. Great for tuning, knowing your safety levels and looks...

Get a wideband or you're just wasting your money. The others are inaccurate. I had an Autometer in my DSM when I first got it and didn't know any better, but ended up taking it out and putting something else in its place.

But, if you still really want one, I've got an Ultra Lite I will sell you... PM me if you want it.

A narrow band gage gives you no useful information... you can't tune from one, and it is only a mediocre "idiot light".
