Looking at the plx now, for it on their website no guage seesn to be a box, harbess and sensor for $150, not overly fond of the calibration process of the innovate(if i ever go FI, will end up with their dual guage setup), all the aem setups seem to be geared more towrds the guage...... All i am really looking for is something to be able to tune with and taje it back out and not be stuck wothbuying 3 of them..... Another question i have is... Is there a way to connect a wodeband abd have it feed the signal to the pcm as well??

I use the AEM. I haven't had any issues with it.

I prefer the NGK, or now the AFR500 with the better NGK sensor. It reads much richer than the others (down to 9.0). Only reads up to 16 but you dont really care above that anyway haha. Analog output is very nice, only bad thing is the display box thing is stupid looking.

You can connect the wideband through any 5v port on the PCM. Two popular ones are AC pressure, and EGR (I use the EGR port).

Thought i had read somewhere that the 0-1v signal could be tapped into the factory o2 sensor while running the wideband so you dont have to weld another bung into the exhaust....

You mean have the wideband act as a narrowband? You could do that if you are crafty, but you will want the wideband on its own as well as the 2 narrow bands there. A bung is like $20 to have welded in at any shop! The narrowband signal wire is 1v, whereas the wideband output is 5v.

I'm rocking an AEM no complaints, looks good, and cheap.

Point is i dont want the extra bung, if i can avoid it, im already going to have to have one welded in on driver side i think, wont really know until i actually get my headers installed!!! If i need to add one then so be it, but i am not trying to run the wideband all the time, just want to be able to put it in log for tuning purposes and take it back out.... My truck, yukon and camaro are at this point all NA and i dont forsee being able to afford a SC unless someones got one theyre basically giving away, at least not anytime in the near future, so dont see a point in having a wideband in fulltime...

I would still have another bung in there. If you want to remove the wideband, just put it an old sensor or a plug to keep it from leaking.
