I have been looking lately at getting an egt and a/f gauge, but when i went to go order them, the guy at the local shop near me said that a wideband is a better bang for my buck. Also, easier to install. What i want to know, is which wideband has both egt and a/f, and will it be capatible with a cobb AP. I dont have the Cobb AP yet, but i am getting it real soon, so should i just get the Cobb AP or get both? Thanks for your help!

 

there arent any wideband o2's that will give you your egt. a wideband is a really great tool to have. a narrowband a/f gauge is worthless.

as far as being compatible with an accessport, what exactly do you mean? the ap just loads a map to te ecu and thats about it. you can look at the wbo2 while youre driving.

the best bet is to get an egt gauge and a wbo2. innovative makes a really nice wbo2 and you can get it in a gauge. as far as an egt there are a few really good ones. i personally like the greddy for the price.

 

What i meant about the Cobb AP was will it mess with any of the maps functioning right with a wbo2. Also, where can i buy a wbo2 and does autometer make a egt(preferbly the c2)

 

no the wbo2 wont be connected in any way with the cobb or your ecu. so no worries. like i said innovative is one of the better wbo2's out there. i'd say best bet is to look on ebay. someone is always selling them. you can get it in a gauge style which is the lc-1 i think. or they have another which is the lm-1. autometer makes egt's in almost every style gauge they sell.

 

ok, is it worth to get if all i have is a tbe, ebc. And soon a cobb AP? I know the egt is but waht about the wbo2.

 

not really. an egt can tell you if youre running too lean anyway, whic with the cobb i dont think you have to worry about.

This looks like a pretty sweet deal. If I had the cash, I'd probably get it. It goes for $550 shipped at Gruppe-S and here are some other things to possibly think about.

damn first time ive seen that. very interesting, good find alberto.

 

imo the best Wideband out there right now is the AEM. the gauge is accurate down to 10.4:1 and up to 16 or so. Its kinda pricey. ~400 but well worth it.
