What wideband should I go with?
I am in of bind of which wideband to pick.. Maybe someone with personal experience could chime in?
I going to buy the Innovate Standalone Gauge Kit (LC-1 + XD-1 P/N: 3763) Black Dial/Black Bezel
Or the PLX M-250 Unit + Wideband Gauge Combo
I am leaning towards the Innovate one right now.. But I thought I would get some opinions before I placed my order.

Re: What wideband should I go with? (BioXide02)
plx is a good way to go, but i have had the AEM Uego in my car since it first came out and had no issues with it either. i think the only downfall maybe they have fixed it by now is no narrow band output. i know the plx does have that. my AEM however didnt.

I have a newer AEM UEGO wideband and am very happy with it. Mine does have a narrowband output, it has 4 selectable modes by a small dial on the back of the gauge. I picked mine up for ~$290 brand new. Also comes with white and black faceplates and black and grey bezels to match the rest of your gauges (the white face adds 10whp 
). 
Never used the PLX, but I've always heard good things about them.

tried and true? i meant everybody has used them, and you dont ever hear of problems. they are super simple to use. i have a m300 i think. works great. only 3 wires to hook up(pos,ground, wideband or narrowband output)
my friend has a zeitronix and its a pita.

I got mine from an ebay store called "Performance Engine and Machine". Here is the link to their ebay store:

And a link to the gauge on their store, $289 with free shipping, 6 in stock:

Re: (bubs)
Go with the M-250 if you're a cheapass, or m-300 if you want to start out right. Although I'd like to have a little sweeping 'needle' showing me the mixture, my stealthed 4-digit display (behind smoked plexi where the clock used to be) works perfect.
With the setup in my sig/HTgarage, it works great as a Wideband and Narrowband simulator. While cruising it swings perfectly around 14's, so it's working as the stock one would. The bosch sensors are also very cheap. My *ONLY* beef with it is that it reads "RICH" below 10:1, but you shouldn't be there often at all anyways.

Re: (HiProfile)
Well, thanks everyone for your input.. I am going to go with the M-250.. The thing that made me go with this is because no manual calibration required.. But with the Innovate you have to manually calibrate it.

Re: (DanW)
PLX is the better choice. I've had LC-1 and ditched it for the M-300 and never looked back. LC-1 needs to be warmed up and calibrated everytime you use it. A good on the go tuning tool, but not something I'd leave on my car 24/7 like the PLX.

pita to use. non linear output makes tuning with it a bitch. my friend that has one, everytime we tune on his car, i have to pull out my plx and put it in his car cause the zeitronix is a pain.

has a ton of wires(12 i think), but there is no calibration, and it has a bunch of features. plx has 4 wires(m300) way easier to use. i kinda like to call it "plug and play"

Re: (mike93eh)
we've used the plx and aem among others... my favorite and the one we use on a consistent basis is the motec plm though... it is a little pricey though
