Yes its needed to watch your air fuel ratios, its a necessity when tuning your car, some tuning device is also needed.

Yes you want to know if your running rich or lean if upping the boost

I have Apexi Turbo Timer installed already and that tells me my Air/Fuel Ratio,Battery voltage and o2 Reading, I'm asumming WideBand is more accurate???? Thanks - Ryann

 

[92AWDHX40]

Yep exactly more accurate its what you pay for.

 

[daplatano91]

You need the wideband only as much as you want your motor not to detonate.

Thank you guys! Appreciate it! - Ryann

Innovate has the most accurate controllers and is what is recommend by a lot. Next would be the AEM UEGO but it's not as responsive as the Innovate LC1.

That is about as accurate as looking out the window to determine the outside temperature. You get an idea, but not any real numbers. A good wideband on the other hand, is like having a digital thermometer outside your window, you get a number, to the first decimal place.

Wouldn't really call the AEM UEGO crap, it works very well for what it is and a lot more people use it. The perks of the Innovative LC1 system is that you can log your A/F ratios, it has a few more neat features and its slightly more accurate than the UEGO. The UEGO still works perfectly though, specially if you're on a budget build.

Well I'm kinda on a budget and I'm not looking to make crazzy HP! Just want something to give me a reading. I think I'm going to go with AEM UEGO.

That's the one I run & imo it's the best wideband for the money no doubt.

 

[GsXdSmKingGsX]

Yeshir you do!

 

[LiquidX]

Dang, you sprung for the XD? $180 could have gotten you the LC1 and DB gauge.

ExtremePSI is an excellent company and They have fast shipping. I get my stuff next day but they are only 1.5 hours from me
