Hey everyone,
So Berk Tech were kind enough to work with me and send me a new downpipe then refund my money once they get my old one. on top of that, they were also nice enough to 'upgrade' me to a wideband downpipe. (something I wanted to eventually do anyway) however, I really don't know what I need to do. My searches have come up with "its kinda plug and play. remove the narrow and plug in the wideband in the same place" (excluding gauge wiring)and "you have to buy the sensor, and a controller" (both ways need the gauge) the plug and play, while I really wish it was, sounds like it doesn't actually get you the information you need. I'm not sure what sensor/system i should get... any tips? Kevin |

you can get a LM1 wide band or a AEM UEGO wideband.
i know the AEM threads into a stock O2 place cause i recently did just that on my 100% stock 7a lol -------------------- QUOTE "And, as always, your friendship, help, and dedication to the advancement of Texas Celica dominance is GREATLY appreciated.

its an AEM kit, sensor and controller. they come with a bung so you just need someone who can weld, worst case

its pretty simple. you give the gauge power and ground, and hook one wire to where the stock o2 sensor went, and set the controller to emulate a narrowband.
its in the instructions, easy to follow -------------------- QUOTE "And, as always, your friendship, help, and dedication to the advancement of Texas Celica dominance is GREATLY appreciated.

I was checking my other gauges and so I checked that one too. I fumbled it and it fell out of my hand, and the sensor plug fell out. I looked at it and in the back and two of the prongs were bent up... fixed that and now it is going back and for like crazy as I drive. Kevin |
