I know that a AFR wideband is recommended, what others though are y'all using?

A smile gauge so you can measure how many times you'll be smiling when your boosting.

Is that kinda like the top-down-o-meter on convertible mini coopers?

If you have an android device download torque and get a blue tooth obd2 adapter it shows afr and boost might save ya a few bucks

if i were doing it again i'd go for the p3cars obd2 gauge. it looks clean and gives you everything you need. the downside is it's obd2 so you have to leave it plugged in there and if you use brzedit it probably won't work, as most obd2 things don't (i know my innovate ot-2 doesn't). when i get back on romraider i'm definitely going to pick one up.

Isnt it not the most accurate thing to be reading afr from an obd2 ?
Like isnt a o2 senor way better ?

the p3cars gauge has one (maybe two?) 0-5v inputs you can use with a wideband

I'm probably going to be putting in a boost gauge, as well as AFR

King Tut · 12-16-2013, 06:06 PM

Boost and AFR are the two most important things to monitor. I would want a way to easily monitor both while still looking out the windshield as things happen quickly during a boosted 3rd gear pull.

This ^ during pulls they're crucial. A wise man that got me into tuning swears by EGTs too, he always says you need to know your egts
