Installed a wideband...14:1 AFR wtf?

Is there something that I'm not doing? I installed the AEM UEGO gauge type, connected it to the ECU+ it reads everything and is pretty close to what the gauge is saying.

That being said, my initial run was like 14-15AFR from 5k-redline. I tried adding some fuel, got it down a little bit, then I added +18 fuel and my laptop died so I lost the pull.

I'll pull the first 3 logs off my laptop and post them here in a sec.

rear o2 position. that should not effect readings, being as they put it in your tailpipe when you're on the dyno....

Or maybe you were just checking to make sure I didn't put it too close....It's right behind my cat delete...

do you have a cat? because if you do then it will effect the readings bigtime.

you should mount it on the DP. too far off from the turbo, it won't be accurate.

Are you sure about that?....Innovate suggests that further down stream is not only fine, but recommended....Should be the same for other brands

How do I calibrate it? From the instruction manual (this is the AEM UEGO gauge type controller) it says that it's calibrated from the factory....any help would be appreciated, but I searched here and I searched google for an answer to no avail.
