Innovate MTX-L. The only 'all-digital' wideband controller.

I got mine for $175 shipped.

Serial logging w/eCtune works great. No 0-5v output required.

Plenty use it with success... what don't you like about it?
Only issue I've found is the price of sensors

The sensors have nothing to do with that wideband. Plenty of widebands use the bosch lsu sensor. It's the controller that is shitty.

In my personal experience, the build of the controller/gauge is garbage, the harness is trash and the readings are inconsistent. I tried using different sensors(1 new, 2 used) and it still gave me inconsistent readings.

The unit I was using was about 2 years old. I'd hope they're more consistent when newer. My old m300 was 5 years old before it **** the bed and was consistent from day one.

I agree. The UEGO controller is the shitty part in that equation. Everyone has their own opinion, but most of the bad widebands I run into are AEM UEGO's. I think they're mostly used because they're so cheap. With that said, what's the point of logging or monitoring a sensor if its not accurate or not working?

Using a cheap wideband to log can be frustrating, but using a cheap wideband on a closed-loop car can cost you a motor. You just have to choose what you want out of that wideband.

Any opinions or input on the PLX widebands and controllers?

I use an aem unit. Its easy as hell to install and use. I get acurate readings both on the gauge and at the ecu. Some more advanced users might want something else but, for the price the aem works awesome.

Innovate lc-1 did not work for me. Burned through 2 controllers quickly. They are finicky to ground and a pain to install. I wouldn't buy anymore innovate stuff.

So it's accurate because your logs match what your gauge showed?

LC-1 would be a great wideband if it weren't so damn picky on how it was wired.

Pyro: PLX products are nice

The PLX is a nice controller IMO, but still uses the bosch sensor. The PLX is the one we use if we don't use a NTK controller/sensor.

How do you know its accurate? Do you have a NTK next to it for comparison

im leaning towards the FJO unit
