Default Autometer Air/Fuel gauge?

I'm in the process of putting a turbo on my teg, started last night.

I was informed that my Autometer Air/Fuel gauge is a piece of crap and I should return it. Is this true? I'm not a fan of having extra gauges so I bought the cheapest ones I could find. Is there anything similar in price that works better? I'm not going to spend $150 on a gauge.

Any narrowband A/F gauge is crap. It really tells you nothing. They are even worse on OBDII cars.

Im in the same boat here. I am planning on buying an A/F gauge. Could you guys give PolyPill and I advice on what the correct set up is for OBDII cars then? Like, what specific parts will we need to get an accurate readings. Please list the name of parts, this would benefit us all. Thanks.

a wideband is the only way to get accurate readings. PLX makes a coverter for the Autometer gauge, but i think you still need the controller and sensor for it

I did a search on wideband a couple days ago. But i couldnt really find a complete setup that gave correct A/F gauges. I would love to see a proper setup to get the job done once and for all. instead of the narrowband crap.

again , PLX makes a wideband set up . and they have an adapter to make the autometer read in wideband. but you still need to buy the controller and sensor for like $300 and then the unit for $40
