Gauge will not work with the Lamda sensor (wideband) in the header. It will work on the s-pipe sensor but this is pointless unless you have a header that doesn't have a header in it. You need to get a wideband setup.

Yep.... our wideband sensor doesn't work with anything... so you need to buy a wideband setup, with bosch sensor which you need to get welded in....

yup. Ideally at least 24" past the exhaust ports of the head so it doesn't get damaged from high egt's

You can run that gauge with the something like the PLX M300 wide band kit.

The Autometer wideband comes with a a/f sensor. Whats the part # of the gauge?

Im looking for a wideband thats good .... and hopefully less then $300. Just a digital readout would be fine. I dont think i need all the colors when its running rich/lean ...ill know what #'s things should be.

Yeah I thought it came with a sensor. So if you have the Autometer wideband a bung have to be welded in the spipe for the new sensor. You will not be able to tap into the stock sensor.
