You need to get a gauge with a Wideband O2 sensor, examples are AEM A/F gauge, AEM failsafe, autometer A/F gauge etc.

you need to actually weld a bung in the exhaust (Overpipe is the best and most accessible place) to be able to install this wideband O2 sensor.

At least the AEM Failsafe, does include the bung, so you mark up where you would like it welded, take it to a shop, get it weld and you are ready to screw it in and connect to the gauge.

It's suggested guys with fuel systems get a wideband AF sensor

Wait... aren't you tuning our forced induction based cars using this OEM sensor... If you say we can't trust it why aren't you telling us to replace them prior to sending you data logs for calibration? This is a major concern...

It can only be used as a reference, everyone with a upgraded fuel system should get a aftermarket sensor.

Visconti does all his initial tunes on physical vehicles in person with a wideband.

I don't want you to be confused. He doesn't physically tune every customers car in person, but the tunes he provides are all based off exact tunes he has done in person. Make sense?

only pressure that can be logged on ecutek is the high pressure system you will need the external module to log what your intake pump is doing. the p3 gauge will not log either PID out of the box so you will need to gauge to at least log the primary fuel supplier to your motor which is the intank assembly

I'm still confused as to what else parts wise I will need to hook up the fuel sensor on the P3 gauge.
