Default Advise on a Wide Band Air/Fuel gauge

Well, I have decided on the Boost and Oil Pressure gauge. I am going to go with the Defi Blue Racer series. My challenge has been finding a Wide Band Air/Fuel gauge.



It does not look like Defi has a Wide Band A/F gauge so I am not going to find anything that matches these gauges exactly. What I have found is an Auto Meter gauge that I like. The Cobalt will match better due to the Blue LED, but the Red LED is not bad either.





I would like some opinions. First, I assume either of these gauges will work. Does anyone have any suggestions on a different gauge? How Auto Meter, has anyone used their gauges? How is the quality?

Thanks in advance.

I've owned Autometer gauges in the past and they are alright... nothing super great but they always functioned as they should.

That blue Cobalt gauge looks nice

PLX makes super high quality stuff aswell(although none of it is really "pretty")





I prefer this type of setup for a WB tho:

unless they've revamped their unit expect to calibrate that wideband often.

innovate or PLX is a good alternative.

LOL, this place was just around the corner from where I work. I went over and check them out. Nice stuff. I really liked the data logger but it will not fit where I plan to put it so I bought the DM-5........for a $100 less then most the other sites I visited.

Thanks again Trevor. Once again you came through for me.
