its not really required but i guess someone would install a wideband for tuning purposes

He said he had a predator tuner for the car.Heres the link.

As stated, it is for tuning. IF it has a datalog port then that is what he more than likely installed it for. I have never seen an N/A car with a wideband though.

More than likely he had nitrous on it and used the wideband to tune it rich for spray... That's the only reason Im going to have one. If he had a sc or turbo also but I doubt he'd be selling if he had that haha. If your thinking of getting the car, I would check the trunk under the carpet for the holes of bottle brackets, and not buy it if you find the holes haha.

I have one and im not boosted or spraying. but I do tune. IMHO how could you tune a car in good conscious without being able to see whats going on. its like driving with your hand over your eyes, or driving while texting, sooner or later something is going to happen. Then a big a boom.
