I had a problem with my sensor going on me in about 800 miles of use. Its a good gauge but now i have to buy a new sensor. Like Alberto said 60 bucks to fix.

What kind of fuel do you run? Leaded fuel will kill a wideband faster than pump gas or high octane unleaded fuels.

He also has an Innovate, and he runs 93 octane pump gas, same as me and both of our sensors died way to fast. Installed profesionally doesnt mean anything, once in, the sensors should be calibrated periodically and as far as I know the Innovate is the only WB capable of that listed here, thats where the Innovate is better.

The AEM is fine. I bought one, although I have yet to install it. The innovate costs more, and has more capabilities, but not neccessary for my application.

I have a question about the UTEC concerning the wideband. I know it has the Tuner system that adds a wideband for datalogging and data aquisition for the UTEC itself, but is there anyway to run an actual gauge off of the UTEC, like a gauge that would sit in a triple pod?

technically...yes. there is a porgrammable 0-5v analog output on the Tuner. In the tuner software, you can scale the output to match the gauge you use.

now, I just need to find a 0-5v (input) wideband gauge that sells by itself.

I went with innovate from Sharif's recommendation. Love it, no issues.

the Innovate is nice but is kind of a PITA to set up. I havent seen anyone locally have issues with the AEM one though. I'm personally eyeing the PLX M-300. I don't want to add another gauge pod to my car even though my preference would be to use the Dynojet Wideband Commander. The M-300 I could mount on my steering column and it would lay flat so I could still read my gauges...

+1 for Innovate most accurate wideband unit and also can be re-calibrated from the guage. I will be running dual Innovate LC-1s on my setup.

So what's wrong with the Bosch unit that it seems like most of the wideband AFR gauges from the big companies like Autometer are using? What makes the Innovate wideband so much better without factoring in data-logging?

Probably got condensation on it if it died in 800 miles. You need place a wideband in the top of the pipe where it goes down, like the o2 sensor should be in the top of the test pipe towards the bottom of the car if that makes sense so condensation wont get on it while the car is sitting. Put it in the highest place possible.

I think I just found a gauge to do it! I'll let you know after Christmas.

Great news. I plan on running the autometer c2 wideband gauge. I just really don't want to pay the $380 for the whole thing if the UTEC has the wideband sensor already. The problem is that I highly doubt I can buy the gauge by itself. I will probably have to buy the whole thing. I figure if I have to do that, I'll just run each wideband to different sides.

I think that any of the Autometer A/F guages work on 0-5V. Here is an alternative: http://www.plxdevices.com/2InchGauges.htm
