That's the wideband we're using and it's fine. The bosch sensor that it uses isn't that great and needs to be replaced quite often, but it's only $45 from the VW dealership. So all in all it's a good deal and a good wideband.

and i bet u think the ntk o2 sensor is better...lol....before u go makin yourself look any more stupid....the innovate wideband is the most accurate on the market using patented technology...its as accurate as o2 equipment used in labs...
as for the sensor needing to be replaced often dont know where u came up with that...ive been using the same sensor for years and it hasnt failed....they are rated for 50,000 miles of use and when your doing tuning you dont use it very long....
as for the plx widebands which everyone thinks is so good ive seen them off as much as a whole point

I had one sensor that only lasted me about 12 hours on the dyno.....although leaded race fuel will have that effect on them

they state that you arent supposed to be using leaded fuel as it will decrease the life of the sensor...so what did you expect?

You seem to have problems understanding what people mean over the internet.....I understand how these sensors react to leaded fuel, hell I use one every single day and depend on it for my livleyhood!

Its not that you aren't supposed to. Its just that the sensors get clogged allot faster.
How the hell else are you supposed to tune your car on C16

I run the LM1 and yes, you can hook a gauge right up to it
You do need to make or buy the AUX input to log RPM and tune w/it.
