I heard a rumor of an dual O2 sensor that has the ability to function as a NBO2 for the car and additional wiring for WBO2 for tuning mounted in the stock configuration.

anyone heard of this thing?

Both the Tech Edge and Innovate WBO2 units will do that. The Tech Edge is programmed for the NB Sim output as it comes, and I believe the Innovate has to be configured for it, but not a big deal. I think, but not 100% sure, that the PLX might have the NB Sim output. Probably others too. These are single sensors, not dual. No need for a dual sensor because they take the accurate WB data and modify it to produce simulated narrow band output characteristics. In the Tech Edge and Innovate, it's how the digital to analog conversion is processed.

No!! Indeed connect the vacuum once the desired pressure is set. I was just referencing the fuel pressure numbers to the vacuum and no-vacuum conditions.

Yea I had a rookie moment when I posted that, you see I just learned early today that the line is only under vacuum sometimes like at idle not under heavy acceleration.
That is correct isn't it? Oh I have much to learn and I just ordered the SharkTuner too. Aren't you glad I'm experimenting on my own car and not yours?!?

Yea I had read that it could be used for dual usage, narrow and wide, but somewhere, in this forum I believe, someone mentioned they had trouble with the narrowband info staying consistant enough to keep the LH happy. they suggested having a dedicated narrow band sensor to talk to the LH so I went that way....

That may have been with an early version of one model of the Innovate WB unit. I can't remember which one, but it's been fixed I believe. I have no problem with using my Tech Edge for both WB and NB. The way you have yours set up will work too. The WB sensors will be damaged by running the engine without sensor heat so be sure to keep the WB fired up whenever the engine is on.

It was Cameron who had an LC-1 about a year ago, and the narrow band had to be reset now and again.

I haven't heard of any similar problems from other users........
