AEM Uego is a good option. Display reads rich condition until 10.0 and lean until 16.00. Its all plug and play no software needed and its factory calibrated.
and the cost is not to expensive.

It does show below eleven digitally although the painted numbers dont. And for clarification....I did not have to drill NEW holes thru the firewall. I simply had to widen it bcuz we installed 3 gauges at the same time. Best to clear all that up b4 the forum assassins try to take me out

every AEM digital gauge is quality. the UEGO is definitely no exception. i'm all AEM and i have no regrets.

this is becoming a pro-AEM thread - i am leaning towards this or the Zeitronix. I just want to hear some reviews on it first.

i just installed a zeitronix.

it took me about 3 hours to install it and that was jacking around and taking lots of breaks (was very hot). the longest part of the install was some stubborn downpipe to 02 housing bolts.

paid 30 bucks for a bung. ran the sensor wire through an existing hole in where the transmission tunnel would be in a RWD car. perfect. wiring is very simple, just need a pack of 3 dollar tap in connectors from radio shack and tap into 5 points at the ECU, power, ground, tps, rpm, sensor ground. no need for pricey boomslangs.

i got it with the LCD mount which i mounted onto my dash. i will upgrade to the map sensor, and EGT probe in the near future. for those two there is no additional taps at ecu. . u get accurate boost, and egt temps along with afr in one nice lcd display. i hate a pillar gauges. this does it all.

furthermore, u can log it with evoscan or mitsulogger, and it has its own logging software which is nice. no free air calibration needed, it self calibrates. no sensitive grounds like the lc-1, can handle lots of dirty power.

after extensive research, i liked it best and im happy with it.

For ease of install, go with the aem. If your modding your car its a must imo

doesnt sound complicated, but more involved than AEM. however, i would probably get a wire harness if they make one.

its really not that involved at all. its probably the easiest thing ive installed on my car outside of a boost gauge.

if u really want it to be as plug and play as possible u can buy a boomslang wired up for a safc. it has the same wire color as zt-2 and most of the taps u need are already done. u just need to attach the zt-2 harness piece rather than the safc harness that it comes with. very simple.

or u could save yourself 170 bukcs and get a pack of wire taps from radioshack for 3 bucks and spend 8 minutes tapping 5 wires into the ecu harness. i have detailed pics if u'd like shoot me your email i can forward it to you.

Unless you are doing the tuning yourself, my opinion is that you often don't "need" one installed all the time. We use an LM-1 from Innovative for a lot of our tuning. It is a big box, which is clunky to use, but you can bring it from one car to the next really quickly. Simply grabs power from the cigarette lighter and you're good to go.

If you want to run one, just for the "added safetynet" of knowing what your afr is like, its simple. For a gauge, you will just need the sensor in the downpipe, and then the power, ground, and signal wires hooked up. You will then need a gauge that also has signal and power hookup, as well as the signal wire from the sensor.

The sensor needs power/ground because it is heated.
