What are the benefits of having the 6in1 Aem wideband?

[DDGDSM]

Ive never used one before. The car i baught came with one already installed. Just wondering what the benefits are over a regular a/f guage? Any tips or tricks with it will also be appreciated.

A normal A/F gauge is like a light show. It just flashes between rich and lean. A wideband (like your AEM) will show a more accurate and stead reading. It's useful if you ever get a SAFC or other tuning device.

I actually have the slowboy racing radio bezel and my safc II sits right next to my aem wideband. never an safc either so im gonna have to learn how to operate/tune both of these.
anyone know where i can get instructions or wiring diagrams for either?

Do a search to see what threads are out there. Here are 2 tech articles on the S-AFC:

That 1 by mikelv was kinda helpful to me. I guess when i get this new turbo on thiw weekend hopefullyi can drive aorund a lil and do some tuning. I just gotta see how it all goes together, my eprom ecu is also chipped by keydiver. And its got these settings in it.
8000 RPM MAIN REV LIMITER
4500/4750/5000/5250/5500 STUTTERBOX
RESETS TO 4500 ON COLD BOOTUP
NO FUELCUT
OCTANE RESET
2X KARMAN
STOCK GAUGE
ENHANCED CLOSED-LOOP MAPS
850cc INJECTORS/288uS DEADTIME
STOCK 2G MAS
750 RPM IDLE
A/C CUTOUT AT 85% FOR 3 SECOND
30% EXPANDED MAPS
PK CODE
NO AIRFLOW CAP
11:1 WOT A/F
93 OCTANE TIMING MAPS WITH 17* ADVANCE ON TOP MAP

So i guess i should be ready for some trial and error with all of these huh? at least ill know how to tune it myself in the end.

Do you have a logger? If not, I wouldn't adjust anything as it may already be setup to run fine. Plus, blind tuning is not smart.

i dont have a logger, and i dont plan on doing ne thing to it at first. just gonna put this other turbo on and get my fp green rebuilt. As long as it runs good im gonna leave it. if not then ill take it to my buddys shop and well see what we can do. Eventually ill get it on the dyno with that fp and see what it lays down.
