forgive me if you've already answered this, but what computer are you running? can it actually run in closed loop? Does the computer manual mention a specific type or model of sensor?

Al, I would theorize that the afm would not work after the turbo without extensive recalibration - most AFMs these days are hot wire (even though apparently the karman vortex ones used in old mitsus such as the starion is meant to be a better design..?), and so there are temperature variation measurements involved, and as you know the air temp after a turbo can vary a fair bit based on a multitude of factors.

Whoops, I forgot about fitting, probably a good couple of hours of labour in that job. But that $225ish is a retail price. Even cheaper for you guys with how good your dollar is these days.redzone wrote:plus fitting and markupProZac wrote:Wideband sensors and controllers arent anywhere near that expensive anymore... a little over $200 will get you a decent innovate one.
Bingo, yup. The MTX-L is a controller and gauge in one unit. The gauge also has two user configurable outputs, so should be able to interface with any decent standalone ECU. I prefer the older separate LC1 controllers though. Same tech pretty much, but you can hook them up to any aftermarket o2 gauge, or not have a gauge at all and just use them for generating a signal to the ECU.GormzZ wrote:you mean like this one?ProZac wrote:Wideband sensors and controllers arent anywhere near that expensive anymore... a little over $200 will get you a decent innovate one.

I had an LC-1 from Innovate and had so many problems with it, think its cheap for a reason. The forum is full of people having the same issues, blinking lights, error codes, dead sensors. Forever having to calibrate in free air which means removing the sensor etc etc. The AEM ones seem to be better and also the Tech Edge.ProZac wrote:Bingo, yup.
