my aem wideband sensor went bad after about 11k miles of use but a lot of leaded race fuel use in that as well. The aem doesnt need to be calibrated. You just have to replace the sensor at least once a year depending on driving and fuel used.

Plain and simple. They did the testing as far as widebands go and the innovate was the leading and most accurate followed by the aem which was the cheapest one out there and best for the price.

The sensor is about 65 shipped, why not replace it every year. BTW if its .7 off and your comparing to a shops tailpipe reading then thats stupid. The wideband will be more accurate than the tailpipe sniffer anytime. If they were using their own wideband sensor as well as yours then either yours or theirs was too old. A lot of shops dont replace theirs until they crap out completely and most cars that run on their dynos are probably running race fuel. leaded at that.

My aem worked perfectly for the 1 1/2 years 11k miles i used it and then just all of a sudden it started reading slow and it was a quick downhill from reading slow to hardly even moving at all no matter the load, rpm, or what. Knew it was time to be replaced. Simple as that.

Nothing wrong with the AEM wideband. Great gauge for the money. Its been tested to be very accurate. Not the most accurate but definitely not .7 off I think it stayed within .1-.2 at the most during the testing. The innovate was dead on to no more than .1 off.

I have the Zietronix wideband the ZT2. The sensor lasted for a long time before it went dead. Then $45 later at autzone I got a new one and went on my way again. The Zt2 logs boost,a/f,egt and intake temp if u use the 0-5v port u can prob do something else I can't think off. If u just want a wideband they have the ZT3 which is cheaper.

I have a Stri boost gauge and I hate that POS. I didn't want to pay the 200+ for the Defi gauge but I'm going too now .

I bought the Depo gauges.. have been stored for a couple of months.. I will install them next week, I am making the holder from a blank radio delete panel and buying the fittings for the sensors. I got tired of the craps that O´Reilly sells. I paid like 180 bucks for five Depo gauges.

I haven't bought them yet but i decided to go prosport i'm going to get an oil pressure, mechanical boost and the wideband. I priced it on the prosport site and it comes up to 254 and that includes shipping. I also found a coupon code (fastspecv) which gave me 10 percent off on it. I was trying to reasearch the depo gauges too and from what i could find they seem good but i didnt want to chance it because of how little reviews they have. The prosport have really good reviews and i heard customer service is great to plus they are in Florida so it would only take me a day to get them

Sure, today we designed all the wiring, tomorrow I´ll do it physically and prepare all wires, on Monday I´ll remove the water outlet to have it tapped and the radio delete panel to make the holes in a local machine shop.
