I was watching the video..and heard the innovative unit uses a bosch wideband o2 sensor...anyone have a part number for it or know if it is a VW sensor?

Just wondering because most vw 1.8t engines all use bosch wideband o2 sensors, and the sensor is only like $50.

yep, it is the same as the VW sensor's. thats one thing I like alot about this wideband. It will end up saving you money in the long run if u run a sensor daily or tune alot of cars.

I am older than Ben, but he passes me in knowledge. He gets respect from the most respected people in the industry, Tony1 to name a few. I have huge respect to the both of them.

If you can't afford the class, there is a book he wrote:

Building and Tuning High-Performance Electronic Fuel Injection
by Ben Strader

http://www.powells.com/cgi-bin...798-0

19$ the place above was the only one that had it.
