And isn't it at least three times the price of this one? Did you even read the thread? He is talking about a CHEAP wideband and you give advice on something that wasn't asked for and is cimpletely irrelevant. I just hate when people respond without even reading the entire post.

Thats just a controller. If you want to see a real time a/f ratio you would need a display or probably a labtop (if it is possible to hook up). Displays for that is another 150-200 if I remember correctly.

I think its a pretty good deal as long as it works as good as its supposed to. (meaning accurate readings)

It would probably be a good substitute to replace the clock with this.

My guess is it will work just fine. There's nothing special about a WB sensor and gauge. Keep in mind those gauges aren't all that responsive so most people tune off of AFR logs. You may want to make sure this WB can be logged by the standard logging software packages like ECUScan.

its not really in the price range, but for a very accurate and precise wideband, ive always used PLX Devices M-300. Id go with something that is accurate and precise if your tuning and/or running an aggressive tune.
