so yea, over a year later..i finally broke down and bought a wideband. lol
i figured it'd be nice to actually tune the car off boost...lmao rather than just adjusting things by feel..lol i knew i wanted somthing that had datalogging capabilitys, so i started looking around at some of the units out there... since i did not need a display, (ill be using a laptop for display and datalogging) i ended up getting the Zetronix unit, because it includes datalogging capabilitys, with A/F, RPM, TPS, (all included with no extras to buy) and can also log EGTs (it comes with a pigtail to make an extension if you already have one, or you can buy the probe from them) and boost. the sensor range is 9.5:1 - 21:1 it does have an optional display,so that you can have a standalone display setup, if thats what you want/need. heres a pic of everything you get when you order the unit. heres a screenshot of the logging/display screen. ill have some datalogs and more screenshots for you guys later this week. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)

na, you cant put the wideband that close to the head.
its in my downpipe, about 16-20" away from the turbo (too much heat is bad for it) the wideband has nothing to do with how much heat is in there, it strictly measures air/fuel ratio. egt is a completely diffrent thing, it measures how hot your exhaust gas temp is, thats why you want it so close to the head, so that you get as good an idea as you can of what is going on in the cylinders. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)
