Just go to either innovates site or MAPerformance and you'll see it, oh lazy one.

If you're talking about the gauge I assume you're talking about (since you apparently can't provide a part number), it's the same gauge I have, the XD-16. The only price I've been able to find for that kit is $320 The only kit they have listed for the ~200 you claim, is the LC-1 controller and sensor only, no gauge. The cheapest kit Innovate has with a gauge is either the DB kit (digital only readout) at $230 on Innovate's web site, or the G2 or G3 kit (analog only read out), at $250 according to MAP's website.

Now, back on topic. Installation was very easy with only 3 wires to hook up for the controller (one power, two ground) and one power and one ground for the gauge. I chose to wire up the power for the gauge and the controller together, so there was a total of 3 connections I had to make in the car. Everything else in the kit was plug and play.

I could have put the sensor in the stock location, but I can't get into DSMlink (no laptop) to get the ECU to read the wideband output, and I wasn't sure how to wire it into the ECU. Another thing with putting them in the stock location, is that the sensor has the potential of burning out faster than if it were farther down in the stream, but that's also a debatable issue.

Not the spendy xd-16. It's one that hooks up to one of the analog outputs. It's currently 247.99 at MAP. I know I've seen it for like $199 on ebay a while back and MAP told someone on tuners that they'd price match it. My cousin bought it a while back for $220, I believe from Innovate. I think you saw it, but since you want spoon-feeding, the part #'s from MAP are INO-3795 and INO-3796, and just 3795 & 3796 at Innovate. Do you need a link or do you know how to type innovate lc-1 in a search? To me $220 is 'about 200', but it can be found for 'under 200' (which is still 'about 200') with 12 seconds of looking.

It's currently only $196 obo on ebay.

Ok, that's what I was referring to as the DB kit, but your initial description was more than a little vague. I don't normally look on ebay when I buy parts, so I didn't check there. And honestly, it didn't really matter enough to me to spend a bunch of time searching around for the bargain basement price.
