Default Air / Fuel Gauge

Evening guys.

Looking to get an Air / Fuel Gauge fitted.
I'm after one that's fairly accurate and that will give me good indication
if my car is running lean / rich.

I currently have a 3 pod filled with Defi Bf , Boost , oil pr , oil temp.
I couldn't find any defi air fuel gauges tho ?

What do you use and what can you recommend.

Regards in Advance

Chris.

I use an LC-1 wideband from innovatemotorsports. I bought the one with a DB blue gauge.

I narrowband is nigh on useless.

I bought it from an online VW outlet. Cant remember the name though but it was posted on one of my threads about the LC-1.

Chris - you got a link for the Fleabay stuff? Be careful what is in the pack as may not get the full kit. I suppose it depends if the want to XD-16 gauge too.

VWspeedshop one looks complete for £239

Hi Rossi

Thanks for that m8 , i looked at the one on fleebay and its defo not as good as the XD-16 , i called VWspeedshop and spoke to a guy today.
The XD-16 is the one i will go for and many thanks for the help.

When i first posted this i had no idea as to what to go for this has made up my mind.

Thanks again buddy.

Chris.
