Just make sure your wiring is spot-on. Innovate widebands will take a dump on you at the mere mention of a bad ground connection. Proper installation is your friend.

Conscensus is to stay away? I can get it for $100. I really just need a wideband controller to feed into hptuners. I don't ever plan on keeping an actual guage in my car.

If it's not worth $100 and the headache with the floating ground I am leaning towards the NGK NTK Wideband for around $250.

Normally though, you can fix floating grounds by tying the two together... Does that not work?

Anyhow, just looking for honest input if its worth my $$ or not.

$100 is a good deal, and it will do exactly what you want. I was just warning that sloppy installation can fry it. Some more expensive electronics are also sensitive to careless wiring.

that was basically my fix for it, run a pcm ground through the firewall and have all the gauge grounds terminate there. the lc-2 does stand alone data logging which is cool if you wanna use it on other cars, like obd1 stuff

$100 is a good deal. I prefer the aem uego now since it's dead simple to install, no calibration required.

Guy sold the 02 sensor, so not worth $100 now. I had an AEM uego in my ford lightning, but I don't remember anyway to get it to port into hptuners. I was running the gauge as a standalone. I want something that feeds into HPTuners, so I would need some sort of controller correct?

no you can run the aem uego into the MPVI if you have the pro version or through an EIO if you dont have the pro. many people use the egr pins. I log fuel pressure with that method.

Well, I went with a used NGK AFX module. They are supposed to be made by ECM. I felt I got a good deal on it too... $135. So as long as it works as intended I should be happy.
