I think you're on the money here. And I can get the bung moved this weekend - bam!

I had an aussie made wideband setup in my last 5. Not the cheapest on the block, but I found their support and product quality to be great. I believe you can get a DIY kit.

I've had one of theirs for what seems like ages, have run heaps of cars on it and move it from car to car with a tailpipe adapter and long loom.

Works well, has always been reliable and like almost every wideband system accepts a reasonably standard and easy to aquire and replace sensor.
When results speak for themselves - don't interrupt.

Hi guys,

Just to dig this up again, has anyone tried the Innovate MTX-L gauge units? $199 and the controller is in the gauge.

The other option is I'll just go the LT-01 route. $199 for controller/sensor only. $209 for controller/sensor/basic digital gauge. $249 for controller/sensor/analog gauge.

Yup, got one, like it much better then the lc1 before it. Much easier to know what's happening with it.

Thanks for that, being the cheaper option it might be ok.
As far as I can see it does everything the LT-01 does just with the controller built into the gauge.

Yup, does require a bigger whole in the firewall as you have a plug head rather than just cables to pass through

Just so everyone else knows.

The Bosch universal part number for the LSU4.2 is 0 258 007 057(old version) or 0 258 007 200(new version)

So far I have been quoted $262 and $299 from supercheap and repco respectively.

US price seems around the $80 or less. Some including shipping, some not.

edit:
from http://wbo2.com/lsu/sensors.htm thanks aka_juffa for linking this!

$97 for a 0 258 007 200

the website also has a great amount info on the sensors.
Cheers,
plohl
