got a question for all you turbo guys with widebands. where are you mounting your gauge?  about to buy one but need a place to mount it to keep it away from muck and debris. and also what brand are yall running? thanks guys

[WranglerCOdy]

nobody with a turbo is running one?

I have an innovate LC1, it can replace the stock one and still have the w/b feature. You can log the AFR on a laptop. There's a new model that comes with a gauge (it's called MTX or something like that) and you can still have narrowband output and pc logging capabilities, but will cost about $200.

yeah thats what my buddy runns in his turbo HONDA. that one is nice but i found a deal on glow shift wideband for 168 shipped to my house.
 you heard anything about them?

[sharpxmen]

not familiar with that one.

what sold me on the innovate LC-1 was that i also got an SSI4 at the same time and with that i can log AFR, rpm, map, tps and air inlet temp (with an added LM35 sensor) and review the logs later in order to make changes - that way i don't have to keep an eye on the road and the other one on the gauge. Later i got an LMA-3 and with that i can log another 4 sensors and it has a built-in map so i can log before/after intercooler temps, vehicle speed, injector duty cycle and coolant/engine temperature - I didn't get to do that yet though. The LMA3 has a built-in 2 bar map sensor (so no wires from the existing sensor necessary)  and a 2 axis g forces sensor and a but with the Jeep is not really a big deal unless you want to use it as an inclinometer if you have a permanent pc install in the vehicle.
I would have probably gone with the MTX wideband but it was not available at the time (for the gauge, it was only released recently).

i see i see. where did you mount it? because that is gonna be the last thing i wanna get wet. lol

it is completely sealed, i used couple of zip ties to and strapped it to the radiator overflow bracket, it does not have any mounting holes or anything like that, the whole thing is a big connector that plugs into the wideband o2 sensor (or to be more specific the o2 sensor harness plugs into it) - it is enclosed in plastic and there's a 5 wire cable that comes out of it which has the +12v, ground, 2 analog outs and calibration button/status led (if i recall correctly).

EDIT: not sure how the MTX is, the above is for the LC-1

i have a custom gauge cluster

ahh i see. wish i did. lol

the innovate gauge is quite flat, if you don't care much for the indicator lights between the gauges you might be able to mount it there (for one the upshift lamp is useless).
