As the title states. I would like to buy one of these gauges new or used. Let me know what you have!

Read up, the AEM wideband sucks.

For the same price (or lower) you can get the Innovate LC1 with a gauge, or the PLX wideband. Do that instead.

OK, you want me to hold your hand through this one? Fine.

http://www.diyautotune.com/downloads...20Shootout.pdf

The most comprehensive shootout published thus far, compares:
1) Innovate XD-16 Kit (LC1 with XD-16 gauge, this is what I run)
2) AEM UEGO gauge
3) FAST AFM
4) FJO
5) PLX M300 (highly acclaimed, didn't do as well in this test)
6) Dynojet Wideband
7) Zeitronics ZT-2
8) NGK AFX Meter

Showed XD-16 and AEM UEGO were both very accurate, but the AEM has latency problems and also doesn't integrate very well with anyone's EMS's except for their own (and due to latency issues, wouldn't even be the best choice for that). It also has no data logging, while the Innovate unit has the best data logging, and has a stigma of unreliability (from reading around). Since the LC-1/XD-16 package can be found for ~$300 new (I bought mine for $200 used), it's a no-brainer.

AEM came in second and has a slight latency problem. you make it sound like AEM is pure FAIL.

you can pick up a used uego for dirt cheap or get a brand new one for $200 these days so i dont see how you can talk bad about AEM.

PLX has POOR accuracy and you advise on that so i dont really get you. Must have some personal issues with AEM but it works fine with my EMS.
