hey guys, I was looking into buying a wideband kit and wanted to know what you would recommend. I was looking at Innovate Motorsports MTX-L kit for just a basic AFR gauge.

I have the Innovate LC-1 with the MX gauge (or something). It's a little bit of "disco bling" but it works and I'm happy with it.

I have the LC-1 with the XC16 gauge. It stopped working at my last track event and I have not been able to link my computer with it. Not sure if I killed it or what but have not had time to really work with it. I'm going to run this weekend at Barber blind, hopefully will have no problems.

LC-1 with red DB gauge. DB gauge is crap though, too dim to easily be read during the day.

I have a LC-1 and XD-16 and works nicely. Its also chained to an LMA-3 data logger which works well though I think the support documentation could be a little a lot better if it was a little more detailed.

I have AEM UEGO. But I suggest Zeitronix since you can log a ton of things

Zeitronix here - I only use mine as a WB gauge but had I bought it first, it would be my boost gauge as well - easy install, easy to read and great logging (I have mine wired into my Vitesse MAF so I can log from one place).

An LC-1 with XD-16 just arrived in the mail today. Gotta go get the old bung taken out and new one put in tomorrow hopefully. Looks nice though.

I have the LC-1 with the G5 analog gauge. Love the way it looks. if you go with the LC-1 I recommend getting the heat sink they offer as well I kept overheating the sensor within 10 minutes before I had that.

LC1 and UEGO here. Have used the AEM lots and love it. Just started using the LC1...and so far it has been a little troublesome setting up, but now it seems to be doing alright. Time will tell. In the future I will probably buy something else.

I have used and installed Zietronix several times, easy install, very broad in usefulness..

I have also installed several other setups... some are easier than others to install and use.

My recommendation is, if you want to do more than just display / log / output the WB reading, consider the Zietronix setup, they also have JUST the WBO2 setup..

I installed an MTX-L this summer. Can't beat it for ease of install, since the controller is built into the gauge.

Can you hook up one WBO2 sensor to two different gauges/loggers?

The Innovate LC1 has both the output for the gauge and a separate 5v analog for hooking up to a datalogger or standalone.

Never used the Zeitronix but i know you can hook it up to the digital LCD screen and a gauge at the same time.

Have been using the LC1 with the XD16 for a while now, works great... pretty much every one of my friends with a modded turbo car run it also. 3 years ago when it was the only one with the XD16 style gauge.
