WTB: Wideband

[Shane@DBPerformance]

Just get the wideband sensor specifically made for your gauge. There are so many versions of the "same sensor" nowdays and the wideband manufacturers are using them in different ways. An AEM UEGO sensor and Innovate LM1 sensor might be the same, but they use a different connector and the AEM is precalibrated from the factory with a resistor so that you don't have to do free air calibrations, unlike the old LM1 sensors that were just the VW sensor and require them to be calibrated in clean air. The Bosch sensors are the bottom of the barrel as far as accuracy and durability, if your wideband supports a better sensor like the NTKs then consider that. And don't buy a used wideband sensor, they are a consumable item.

This. Reliability is a big enough issue with a brand new one, let alone some used one. If you buy used, plan on purchasing a new sensor from the get-go.

Hokay!
