None of the aftermarket LSU4 kits are accurate, however they all read richer than what it actually is, so you're safe ...

I run an AEM ECU as well, so i can use the AEM wideband and capture datalogging etc. through it all - however, i ran the gauge by itself on my old OMEX setup and it was fine mate.

Not 100% accurate as has been said, but its close enough to let you know if there's a problem!

Are you under the belief that they are any better than any of the other cheap AFR gauges then?

They use the same lambda sensor - i doubt there'll be a huge variation in the interpretation to the display

Either which way - they aren't as accurate as thousands of pounds worth of ECM equipment, but they're enough to give you warning of a problem
