uhh they should be using wideband to do the tuning...no need for you to have one as far as i know......the benefit is a nice monitoring tool and if you try to get into tuning yourself....anyone with more experience feel free to correct me or add more info!

You don't need one. They'll be using their own wideband gauging system.

you don't need a wide band unless you're going to be doing street tune.

You should use a wideband no matter what type of tuning you are doing.

yes, but he was asking if he should buy one. if he's getting a dyno tune, the shop will have one to use.
no need to waste money on one if you're not going to do the tuning yourself.
