My brother has the aem uego gauge in his typhoon and it has worked really well for him.. I use my innovative lm1 in my cars.. it's not permanently mounted. Eitherway you'll be good

The AEM UEGO does everything, It's just a gauge hooked up to an O2 sensor that comes with it.
You dont need a controller... you can even log from the AEM.

Im not going to use one, Only the AEM UEGO. Have you thought about not running a piggyback?

I would look at the Tweecer, but probably more likely a megasquirt setup so I could run a MAP sensor.

wtf is a wideband guage? It measures air to fuel. Can't really control that without piggy back or stand alone.

I ran the Innovate LC1 - worked great, but I was disspointed that all you could log was AFR, no rpm or anything..

I've heard good things about the AEM UEGO

Fuel pressure, timing, and a PMAS blow through MAF

The sensor doesn't give a nice simple voltage you can feed to a gauge or ECU, so it needs a controller to interpret its output. AEM builds theres into the gauge while Innovate uses a separate module. The Innovate ones take a modular approach so you can log a lot of items if you combine the LC1 with other devices.
