Default wideband question...

alright, the question is pretty simple, and i want to know which is better for tuning. I wont be doing any datalogging. Should i go with the NGK AFX or the AEM UEGO?

i think that the aem is better beacsue of the range that it can read, and also i think it has output for the ecu as that of a narrowband, so all i have to do is replace the narrowband, and no welding required.....am i thinking right?, or is the NGK better?, i can get both for about the same price.....

opinions PLEASE!!!

If you are using an AEM EMS.... go with the AEM Wideband, if you are using Crome, Hondata etc go with an Innovate/PLX. I ran into this issue when I had my EMS, now I have an S300 and cant datalog with the AEM Wideband, so I have to take it off my car and sell it. There is a way to make the AEM work w/ Hondata but it requires buying a chip board, resistor etc and soldering it all together. If you are interested in the AEM ill give you a good deal on mine.

I'm useing the ngk and have had it tested against some of the nicer plx and otehr systems, it's always like within .01-.02 of their specs so it's really accurate.
