PLX, great product and adaptability for additional sensors and modules rocks, imo.

I have the AEM Failsafe which does Boost and AFR. It will even do Lambda. You can also pick if you want the boost or AFR in the middle which is a digital display and the outer ring is a bar and you just put the correct face in. It's pretty damn accurate too. It showed 0.2 leaner compared to the dyno tune wideband they used. I don't know what size you're looking for but it's a standard size one. It also does a bunch of other things that I don't use on it.

I can only compare to Innovative (pure crap, imo) and ProLogger which is truely equal in function.

Get the NGK AFX. They are made by ECM who makes some very high quality Lab Grade Widebands. (The stuff that cost thousands for a damn wideband)

you won't regret it.

I'm probably going to catch fire for this one but I've never had a problem with the trusty LC-1. Fully programmable meaning you can dial in the voltage offsets ans set it up for AFR or Lambda Ect.) and as long as you stay ontop of the calibration (like any wideband) they're very accurate.

I have the ngk, its very inaccurate, I'm sure it may need a sensor but my problem is the big squAre thing they call the gauge. I want something I can mount in my pillar

those of you with the plx series, where have you found the best pricing?

im looking at 1 a/f with the dm-6 gauge along with the fluid pressure module chained to the same gauge and 1 md-100 with the obd plug

I run two MTX gaugesbut the PLX has got a better look and very good functionality. Used it in a couple of customer cars.

PLX is what I recommend much better than the LC1.

I run PLX Boost and AFR gauges. I really like them. Cool features, and really good sunlight visibility for a digital gauge (important for us convertible owners!).

PLX states that their fluid pressure sensor is not suitable to be used for fuel, which killed that idea for me. Would be nice to have 2 gauges, and be able to monitor AFR, boost, and/or fuel pressure in any combination on those 2 gauges.

I always ran the NGK AFX, loved it. I've been looking at the Innovate MTX as well lately, I believe 5litereater is running one. Maybe he'll chime in.

I noticed that to, anyone know a sensor that is conpatible to work?

well i called plx and talked with one of there tech guys. he stated that while he "legally" cant state that their sensor works with fuel he can say that he knows of people personally that have used it for over 5 years without issues. he recommended that it just get changed out every so often.

I ran the PLX for fuel. It worked for more than one season with no probs, just a bit bulky for a fuel pressure sensor.

I may have a PLX WB (02 package) + more here that I removed form the car. If interested, let me know and I'll take a look in my garage (pretty sure it's around). May even have other accessories to go with it.

I replaced the PLX with a Haltech Dual WB-02 - fits in the standard A-pillar hole and displays 02 from both banks
