I have the AEM UEGO and Tru Boost Gauge. I like them because they are digital. If I had to do it al over again I would go with autometer nexus though they are hella expensive. Look into the Greddy Intelligent Informeter Touch (comes out in Dec for like 4 bills) also that thing reads 6 parameters at once and limits the amount of gauges in your car. I know I had the same plans of getting all those gauges until I heard about the infometer touch now I'm just waiting. In VA gauges + modified car= tickets.

Could always go the HKS Camp2 option, but then you just have to resell your pillar pods. You need to have a double din headunit capable of playing an aux input. Lots of info available with that - just do a search.

If you stick with the pillar pod, be sure to tap into your radio's dimmer switch. We forgot that step and it is hella bright at night with only two gauges on the pillar.

I have the AEM UEGO and Tru Boost Gauge also, i like the way they look and the bezzle matches the silver interior very well.

Interested in the greddy coming out but we will see.

We used to use a lot of the Innovate WB's, but after repeated and constant easly failures, we switched back to the tried and tested AEM. Dont' worry about matching them to your boost and other gauges. It's generally accepted, that your wideband is going to look a little different, since the top gauges makers, like Defi, don't make a matching wideband.

We have AEM on sale for super duper cheap if you need one.

For those who really want to ball out, don't forget about the HKS AFK. It's a little more than most need, but its a cool little box all the same.

As far as pump gas goes I guess you have alot of choices, Innovate had awesome advertising and pricing but it seems that the end product just didnt perform, a shop I deal with had to drop them as a supplier because of constant problems. Then you have the Aem, when the eugo was first released it was crap, nothing but problems, but now it seems that it has all been sorted out, I know people that run them without issue...but I wont since being burnt with the first.

As far as the best wideband money can buy you need one with a NTK sensor not a bosch, and FJO currently allows for both sensor types.
So in my honest opinion the FJO is by far the best available, amazing refresh rate! The ntk afx has a horrible refresh in comparison.
Also NTK's never seem to die on race gas, 3 years strong on c16 for one of ours.

best of luck.

FYI the GReddy Informeter Touch have an 5V analog input that means u can buy Innovate LC-1 or TXS Tuner, and read the AFR in the Informeter
