AEM UEGO WIDEBAND Install/Review
Rick Inacio
The AEM UEGO wideband gauge is a "MUST" for all tuners and boosted cars. With it's 0-5v output, it has the capability of logging with just about any stand alone unit out there. The UEGO is a 52mm gauge that makes it a perfect fit for any gauge pod or any custom mounting location. With easy to read interface air/fuel LCD display, it also shows 3 diffeant colours showing me just how lean or rish my car is running. The single channel AEM unit is accurate to a 0.1 air/fuel ratio and also comes with a Bosch 02 sensor (#30-4100). The UEGO needs no laptop or any other type of moniter to make it read. It's 24 Color-coded LED display lights provide immediate reading to engine’s air/fuel ratio or Lambda. This kit is just as easy as installing a boost gauge with its easy hookup wiring, all I had to do is install the 02sensor 36" away from the turbo and run 2 wires. Once I started my tuning, all I had my eyes on was the AEM wideband gauge tellimg me just how rish and lean I was running. The kit also comes with face plates and differnt colour bazels to add style and looks to your car. The unit has "REALLY" helped me tune my race car and is well worth every penny and a "MUST" for any car.
