I dont have the AEM, but I have tuned cars that do have them and my experience has been positive.

One thing to note is that when you hook it up to HPTuners, every AEM I have seen reads .3 richer on the HPT scan than on the gauge.

Hey I personally have ran it when I had my turbo truck. Gauge was awesome and the ability to log was really easy. I keep these in stock. Pm me if interested and I will get ya a price.

I have one on my turbo truck and I actually have experienced a "grid" instead of displaying the number like it should. Had a little difficulty calibrating it to read correctly on HPT. If you actually plan on using it as a dual purpose gauge there is no backlights for the analog so you can't view what the rear reads in the dark. I have a normal aem wideband in my d1sc truck an had no issues with it. The failsafe is a nice gauge though.
