    I was wondering what brand and or model wideband you guys would recommend? I currently have dual aeroforce gauges, autometer mechanical boost/vac gauge, and a autometer oil pressure gauge any advice is much appreciated thanks.

    Read around, they are all pretty similar.

    90% of them run the same exact bosch wideband sensor, so there isn't much different between any of them. Just the looks and how far the gauge can read, be it 10-18, 9-20 or similar.

    I was thinking the plx but then again the autometer one looks pretty good to. The car will never be on e85 just 93 octane pump gas because that's all I can get in my area. What's a good afr to be safe? I've just been going off trims on my aeroforce and feel like I should get a wideband.

    I ran an AEM for years, no issues with mine.

    11.0 to 11.5 is the safest zone for a boosted vehicle in most cases.

    Okay so I'd want it to start at 8? I was looking at them and some start at like 11 so that's no good get the one that goes from 8 to 20? What range was yours?

    the wider the range the better. many of the cheaper lower range widebands seems to fail fairly quickly. ive had pretty good luck with the ngk wideband gauges in the past

    Thanks for the info. I just bought and installed the 2016 AEM X-series wideband that ranges from 8 to 20 expensive about $200 bucks but it's nice.
