My AFR gauge stopped reading today in my triple pillar pod. What is everyone using and where to purchase

I've used the Zeitronix ZT-2 for the last couple of years with good results. I've also heard good things about AEM's new X-Series UEGO wideband but I haven't tried it yet. The Ballenger Motorsports AFR500 is the one I will most likely try next in my AutoX/Road course STI.

I like mine too, but a lot of people around here seem to have bad luck with them.

I had the best performance from the ngk afx/ ballenger afr500's I've owned over the last decade or so. I've tried the mtx-l and the aem uego(older version). Both ate sensors on boosted applications.

I've used multiple innovate products over the years and never had a problem. Currently have an LC-2 on the car. If I were buying right now, I would get one of the new AEM X series gauges. Super fast update rate, comes 'pre calibrated', no need to free air cals and if you use the analog output for anything, it has internal circuitry to correct for any ground offset issues so you get a true reading. Bottle line get something that uses a Bosch LSU 4.9 sensor and it should serve you well, IMO.

I have the psb-1 and ecf-1... I like them because I can monitor pretty much all I need on 2 gauges and they look nice... one of them ate a sensor shortly after install though, since replacing it I haven't had any issues

That ecf gauge is pretty nice. Wish they had a gauge like that minus the ethanol. Boost,are, fuel presure.

I wanted ethanol% since I run e85... I always test the fuel before I put it in the tank but it's still a nice thing to have if I decide to go flex fuel later on, I don't really have plans to do that anytime soon though (if ever)

I just bought an innovate wideband and an innovate boost gauge/shift light combo. Can't remember the model of the wideband but it's the one that monitors both banks. Haven't installed but they look nice.

+1 for PLX. Their sideways-scrolling seismograph-style AFR display is a lot more user-friendly than flickering digits.

that's one of the things i like about the MTX-L is that it has an LED ring around the bezel that lights up in the way a needle would: green on left when rich, yellow in the middle near stoic, and red on the right when lean
