AFR gauge does not measure exhaust temp !!!, its measures the air/fuel ration ( like a breathaliser for a car )

how do you know you have a narrow band already in the T34 ???, btw lambda sensors all differ from ecu to ecu, you cant just get one from a punto and plug it in the mangement

the wideband AFR gauge is just that, just like a boost gauge, you dont use a narrowband gauge on a turbo car as it dont cover the same range that a turbo car has ON BOOST so will register wrong readings
A narrow band is just used to trim fueling at light throttle.
An N/a car will still be out of range for the narrow band on full throttle.

Personally i removed closed loop and still get good fuel consumption. It just takes longer to set up, you basically just lean out the bottom end fueling to between 14.7-15.2 for better fuel consumption.
