So I am fed up with the junk UEGO from AEM. I have had 3 sensors and 2 gauge units. AEM says that there is something wrong with my car, but my tuner has confirmed that the exhaust setup I have is very similar to many, many vehicles they have dealt with to include 600-1000whp beasts which do not have the issue. They have seen however have had issues with the UEGO kits in the past as well. I figured that I would chime in here to see about sharing and getting input.

Option 1:
Autometer Cobalt Wideband Kit (http://www.autometer.com/cat_gaugedetail.aspx?gid=3606)

Option 2:
MTX-L: Wideband Air/Fuel Ratio Gauge (http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/products/MTXL.php)

I haven't really seen much else our there that piqued my interest in the least. Has anyone had any experiences with either of the two products listed above? Sure, the Cobalt would be idea because of the fact that it would make all my other gauges since they are all Cobalt, but for the most part it is more expensive.

What was your exact problem with the AEM one? I'm just a bit curious. I had the MTX-L on my FC and never had a problem with it. You can also connect other innovate gauges together and use their pocketlogger if you ever wanted to.

It's a sensor and a gauge. It's not possible they were all bad. I've sold probably twenty of those, and I run that same one on my car. NO PROBLEMS.

AEM *might* be right.

^ you can have your opinion, but it doesn't actually provide any feedback in regards to my question.

^ no experience per se, but I've had great luck with the Innovate LC-2 wideband.

Well, it does actually provide feedback. You should revisit the idea that there is something wrong with the placement, or the bung, or something to cause all that failure.

That's feedback; I'm sorry if it's not what you want to hear.
