You can find excellent wideband controllers at www.wbo2.com, too.

The most annoying problem for me is the not working VOUT cause i use it without display wired the VOUT up to the ECU. Beside of this, i feel not very confortable with the weak heater control. The LM317 works near it's thermal limit.
I'm looking at the JAW forum, too, and i know i'm not the only one with these problems.
Anyway, i give it a try again when a working firmware is released - until this time i use one of my spare WBO2 units - proven to work

Innovate DBs? I've got one in my Civic (disclaimer: I also work for an Innovate seller. ) So far it has been working very well. The LC-1s are a bit sensitive to where you ground them, though - if you try grounding one to someplace that's not a very solid connection, it can lead to all kinds of frustration. Mine's strapped to the intake manifold and brounded to the cylinder head.

Why spoon feed this kid? This has been beat to complete **** on here.
I mean really how hard is it to just search..

A great thread to read is:
The affordable wideband poll.

Search for that, it should answer any questions you may have.

We have 3 ngk powerdex's at the shop because they were the cheapest wideband that used both the bosch and ntk sensor. NTK sensors tend to cost more but last longer with race gas. These are give or take $250.

PLX's are a bit more expensive but offer the same multi sensor support.

I like the LM-2 for tuning because of its USB output for logging AFRs.
