I bought my PLX WBO2 for about 200 without gauge. There is a way to bring the WBO2 signal through an unused sensor to the PCM. I think it's EGR or A/C pressure that's been used. It's posted up on HPT forums. Then you wouldn't need the Pro, but you won't have standalone datalogging.

Here it is, using EGR valve

Although you should look through the sponsors. Those are the manufacturers website of the products.

THanks- just got back from innovate. Looks like you can get the Bosh WBO2's for 79.00 and a cord for around 20 bucks that plugs into the sensor and a serial port on the lap top. Do I hafta weld in a new bung for the WBO2's or can I piggy back on one of the existing ones..........
Thanks for putting up with all my questions................

Put it in place of one of your FRONT sensors, then tune in open loop. Be sure to turn off any DTC's associated with that sensor.

AFAIK, you wouldn't be able to bring that data into HPT (AFR won't be integrated into your HPT scans) if you are connected throught the serial port. If you go this route though, you will probably need a usb to serial adapter. Most laptops made in the last few years don't have a serial port.

If you are going to get the Pro cable though, just make sure your WBO2 controller has a 0-5 volt output to go into the side of the MPVI box.

THanks- Im gonna lie down and digest all this now...............

P.S.- I'm diggin' the EGR idea- my truck is a 2001, last year with the EGR...........

Actually, it's the parallel port they've ditched. I got a Dell Latitude D620 three months ago, has a serial port and four USB ports. They need to keep the serial ports because a lot of networking devices use a null modem or console cable.

So no more printer in the LPT1, eh? Man, everything's going virtual in the 21st century, anyone seen Jaws 24, yet.............
