Sorry if this goes in tuning, but I put it here because I will be using it with a turbo.
I've been searching around looking at different Wideband 02 sensors and I ve narrowed it down to 2.
AEM U.E.G.O
or
Innovative Lm1
Help me out with this one guys!
I bought Brandson's Saab turbo Setup and I will be using it for that.
Also a Cartech FMU???...Blazer fuel pump and...FPR? What do you think
Comments and Opinions would be awesome!!!

I LOVE my AEM. AEM UEGO for the win in my honest opinion.
I told you man.....AEM UEGO, Cartech BEGI FMU, and a Walbro 255 lph fuel pump. Stop by the house and Ill show you were to get it all the cheapest.
AEM makes good parts but Innovate has been around longer. Both are good companies though.

I too am stuck on the same decision, although I havent found anywhere besides directly from AEM that I can buy the UEGO. Anyone know of some sites? Do you sell it Hypsy?
Pretty sure Gravana sells the AEM UEGO. I personally would go to ebay and buy it off a reputable distributor with no less that 99% feedback.
I sell both of them.
As I said...both of them are great units. I have many fellow racers here locally that use both. Many use the AEM one because they are "tuner market" guys and know the AEM brand name but most of the big V8 guys and older tuners prefer Innovate because they've been around so long. I personally went with the Innovate LM1 kit. I didn't have a place for the gauge that the AEM has and I love Innovate products. This really is a case where you can't go wrong no matter which way you go.

for datalogging purposes i like the lm-1 but for a unit youll datalog occasionally with and may wan to perma-mount it in yor car, ima have to say plx m-300 i love mine to death.
yup. plx m-300 all the way. i would chose a lot of other brands over the uego for datalogging purposes
Blew it up, build numbers coming soon
90% of WB systems > AEM UEGO for datalogging uses. IMO at least.

I'm sorry to go a little off topic but if I got the AEM UEGO from Gravana, does anyone know if i'd have to get anything else to make it work or does it come with everything already? If its a stupid question then forgive me, i've been up for almost 20 hours, i'm getting tired, lol. Thanks in advance.
IIRC it's a complete unit.
As for 20 hours....I did 25 straight, 3 hours sleep, then 10 more Friday and Saturday to finish my car. It is DEF time for bed for me too.

I dont like my AEM EUGO.
I am eventually going to go with an NTK wideband, namely something like the Tech Edge.
NTK's > Bosch IMO, they handle way higher temps, so you can mount it closer to the turbo.
get the inovate , ive used both the hand held and stand alone gauge , loved um both
aem's is nice but they carry no warranty
I just picked up an Innovate LC-1 and the XD-1 gauge. Have yet to install but going by their "Tuner Resources" links, Demo video's and the quick responces on users questions using their Innovate forums, I am very confident in this product. www.tuneyourengine.com
Check out my Part Out List!! Great Prices !!

Thanks everyone. I still have some time left before I have to choose. I might just go with the AEM Wideband. Still not 100% sure though. Thats pretty much split down the middle with the innovate as far as votes go.
and Just for @!#$s and giggles.
V6 Blazer Pump
or
Walbro?

Lee: You make it sound like calibrating the sensor is hard. Takes a whole 30 seconds and you do it BEFORE YOU PUT IT IN THE PIPE. You make it seem like its a difficult task. Maybe for some.....oh and all units require some sort of calibration.

im telling you guys, NTK sensors are where its at.
Innovate AND AEM use bosch, which can only handle a certain amount of heat. Thus restricting you to where you place it downstream of your turbo.
ask any of the serious DSM guys, they'll tell you they are running Tech Edge's with NTK's.
hptuners likes AEM :shrug

Hp tuners works with either, personally i think having to calibrate something like that is silly i never have to on my plx
I like the AEM the guage style is alot better looking

This is true......... all units do require calibration....
I just love that the calibration for the AEM UEGO is in the gauge it self...... oh.... and your also right about the innovative wideband.... you must free air calibrate it BEFORE you install it .....
but I was told IIRC that is..... that it must be free air calibrated more then once in it's life span in your car...............
It's not difficult....... just a bitch.....
