I wouldn't trust a product that they cant even build properly for the display picture!

I see it is a kit - should be ok if you dont use there instructions!

It'll show you if you are running lean or rich. Nothing more, nothing less. (i.e. it won't show you how rich or how lean your are running)

Not of much use therefore. I just don't get why people fit AFR gauges. The bar graph things are really annoying whilst driving and I doubt anyone will have enough time on their hands whilst driving one of our cars to keep an eye on all the gauges. Set it up right once and be done with it....

ps. I do have 6 gauges in my car, just because i think it looks nice. I only ever keep an eye on fuel & temp though ;-)

They're for narrow band sensor so not half as much use as the newer wideband sensors (which need a seperate controller)....

I want it to set the car up on MS, not to have it installed permanently though i did consider installing permanently but behind the seats where its not so annoying, but easy to see for mappping.

I saw that, but tbh, thats fine by me as the wideband stuff is mega expensive.

I can't see that a gauge that uses a narrow band sensor can be accurate enough for tuning purposes - that's why they invented wideband
