Which Air/Fuel Guages?

I am looking to get a air/fuel gauge with fitting kit (lamda sensor) but was wondering what one most people recommend and use?

any advise is welcome.
Cheers

Anything which is wideband.

Most of the ones you have probably seen for sale will be about £30 for the gauge and narrow band. Wideband is more pricey

AEM http://www.funkystyling.co.uk/item_d...odID=449002999 or VEMS https://passionford.com/forum/viewto...a3418318f80f67 look OK - IIRC they use a Bosch Wideband sensor

realy depends on what you are trying to do mate

a narrow band 02 is just like a switch 0 or 5v
a wide band tells you the full variant all the way through the range0 -5v
and alot more accurate

Obviously having an engine running adequare fueling is important regardless of it being N/A or forced induction.

but a forced induction engine will melt down if its running lean a LOT easier than a N/A one.
