Default autometer air/fuel ratio

all my gauges are autometer but my buddy says their air/fuel one is not as accurate. true? anyone with problems sugestions with autometer in general?

my buddy's phatom boost gauge reads about 3 psi higher than it is at any given time, and my sport comp boost reads fine until i beat on the car and it reads high vac at idle like around 22psi when suppose to be around 18psi, and when the car is turned off after warmed, it points to 1psi vac instead of mid zero.

Autometer gets the 02 signal from a narrowband sensor. The sensor is only slightly accurate at ~14.7 a/f.

You could program a wideband output (you would have to have a wideband sensor) to the guage and it will work better, but it is still a light show.

Yep...unless you have the Autometer wideband kit.
