    I looking into all my options. I want to go wide band... I need to make sure I don't blow my car up or run it lean. My mods are in my sig and I also need some advice on tuning software ect. I've been doing loads of research and I'm confident with the right tools I can install it, and tune the car if it even needs it. Advice?

    Should I buy the wide band stuff and go from there? Also I have a boost gauge and with the A/f gauge I was thinking of switching to a 3 gauge pillar set-up. What are you running for those of you that have a pillar pod?

    I need some legit advise because it's getting colder faster and I don't want to over boost the car and run it lean.

    I also found 2 problems after I ran those time in my sig..The front O2 sensor was about 1/2 unscrewed and my plugs were gaped at .45, now I have them at .55.. Would this of caused me to run slower?

    School me please

    You do know the megasquirt system is a standalone ECM right. Not only would you have to assemble it you would also have to get a custom engine harness, not to mention alot of other stuff in order to make it work. I would just use hp tuners or Dhp tuner and do a wideband tune with it.
