I'm using AEM wideband and I like it. The only downside to me is the response time especially when decel. The gauge/sensor takes a few seconds to show -- when the injectors are off.

I agree with all the above.

AEM also now has a wideband failsafe out. which looks pretty damn cool.

get it from ebay then. wait til theres another sale.
or do like me and pm every vendor that has it and buy it from the vendor who sells it for the cheapest.

just an FYI, those vendors who put "lowest price" is usually NOT the lowest. i can assure you its just a marketing strategy.
i've gotten price quotes from the platinum vendors with that slogan and their price was actually the HIGHEST.
does false advertising not apply to vendors?

The Innovate widebands are not difficult to "free air calibrate". You take the sensor out of the exhaust (preferrably when it's cold, duh), and then you press a button to calibrate it.

To be completely honest, I would rather pay the extra $33 and support a company/vendor such as MAP.

Sorry,

Sorry,
You do that, i rather save money for the same exact product even though MAP is a great company. Nothing about being cheap but what member on here doesnt like to save money, i know almost every one on here is looking for the best deals and was just stating for those people.

Using AEM wideband, it works no complain so far.
Using autometer boost gauge and also no complain so far.

Edit: I also tried proparts, prosport and haltech wideband.
I honestly didn't like prosport tho...Check out proparts gauges, i really liked their gauge and customer service.

you wrong, as i have bought twice from ebay and no issues, even got the wideband in 2 days. Its not a strategy but a way to cheat the system, as AEM is very strict with the pricing and if you have a shop and sell their products you can only drop the price soo low, BUT on ebay AEM can not track the sellers there..think of it as a black market, where they are selling the widebands on a side without being detected by AEM...ebay is safe, and every cpl of days the $167 will show up.

The best wide band on the market for the money is the NGK AFX. It uses an l1h1 or l2h2 NTK sensor which is far better and more expensive than the Bosch LSU sensor.
