Default Is the AEM wideband any good?

Seems like a good price. It's not a **** pile like Innovates LM-1 is it?

Cool, so if I go order one, then everyone comes on and tells me they're garbage?
Or would it be safe to order now you think?

I've compared mine to an AFM1000 and A1000 widebands (both good NTK based units) with good results.

I have one and it works great. Very easy to install. I had a LM-1 and was a nightmare...

Is the 0 to 5volt analog output the one used to connect to the extra wire in your AC pressure plug to tap into hp tuners and get the wideband reading on your scan?

I'm going to wire it like my Oil, Water, and Trans temp gauges.
I snaked a wire from under the steering column and into the fuse panel. There are female plugs labeled ACC, just double check with a volt meter or test light to make sure they come on with key on only.

Then for ground attach the wire to metal under the panel thats by your knees when you're sitting in the car. Take that panel off, find a good solid bracket.

I ordered the kit.
Over the weekend I'm going to pull out a header and see if I can weld in this spare bung I have here. Going to see if it'll fit somewhere between 10 and 2 o'clock.
This way the dirty work will be done when the kit gets here.

Actually I pulled the pass side header today and welded it in.
Hope it's a good angle.
