Theres a comprehensive thread from SydneyKid regarding the boost controller, and others who've built them.

Their single wire AFR meter, as with all of them are a joke for anything more then telling you if your mixtures are "rich" or "lean" at idle.

High speed 4/5 wire units are about $4k, though the cheaper, $1000 units like the LM are very good.

you can get an LM or an LC for around $400-$500 brand new. plx also make good afr meters for around the same price.

^^ damm, really? 500? something has changed... maybe they have em produced in Mexico now like 044's

I got an LC1 kit from the states for 340 landed with a readout gauge

normally around 230 landed without the display gauge

$383 for a locally made wide band sensor

How quick do these react and experience with them?

A couple of the cheaper ones ive seen take forever to show changes.

how accurate are the locally made ones. i havent looked over all the things for the local one, but one reason the LC1 is a favourite is because its not just a cheap unit, but sensors/guages etc are cheap too

VB - do you have a web address for those units?

after one so I can do some self tuning (and for the street cred too lol)

[zebra]

Never mind....found it

[GeeTR]

Before you purchase a setup, id advise you check actual response rates of the setup, and accuracy with altitude change

Load tuning up mountains with a lesser setup will waste looots of time.

the one I have reacts well compared to motec zorst sniffer on the dyno (ie at least as quick and maybe quicker). keep in mind it is in a dump pipe and the motec is only at the rear of the car
