Default A/F guage?

I was wondering going to do a turbo soon and im looking at the wideband gauges. I have an A/F guage and I was wondering if I could use that instead of gettimg a wideband gauge? or should I just suck it up and pay to play?

AF gauge is useless. Maybe a big red light that comes on if you are 13:1 would be good.

I was not making a joke, I have heard of something like that. I have a pillar mounted AF gauge it's hard to look it when going fast.

Widebands arent that expensive, I can set you up with a PLX unit with everything you need to monitor AFR including a pillar gauge for about 225.00 shipped.

That light would get old while daily driving. J/K

I love my PLX unit. How much for a replacement 02 sensor? I think I have run too much leaded gas through it.
