I'd like to know who's using a Air/Fuel gauge in their car with a wideband O2 sensor. Could you please post what you have, cost and where you got it from. Any pics you have would be great. Thanks for your help.

Innovate Stand Alone kit. Picture of location on the dash fascia next to the steering column was in a post by me about this unit (Ooopps...I forgot the exact location of the post ).

By the time you buy the gauge too, you've paid much more than I did for the PLX:smile:

Hi Bob:smile:

Saved my self around $400 bucks with a sheet of aluminum and a hacksaw All you need is a 2-1/16" cup from Autometer and a couple of longer screws to tap into the existing ones at the back of the OEM gauges.

Thanks for that MSFITOY, the problem is that you sort of say to yourself for another $xxx I could get the FJO ECU / Motec etc etc. Where do you stop

We have a company over here who does an ecu http://www.dtafast.co.uk/ for about $800 but doesn't have the nitrous and turbo controller like the FJO ecu.

One of our drag racers over here swears by his http://www.fuelairspark.com/
see the car at www.audiracing.co.uk he's going for a 7 this weekend.

Its a difficult one thanks for confusing me a bit more.

I have nothing to contribute to this conversation, but the name of that company, Fuel Air Spark Technology (FAST), is truely brilliant! Its like a computer company named Ones and Zeros.

I've used the Innovate unit and it works great ... accurate, built-in storage for logs, etc.

You should take a picture of yourself wearing that gauge like a necklace, Flavor Flav style!
