Anybody tried one of these Wideband gauges from eBay?
Martin S.:
They seem like a great deal for under $200 you get the complete kit with the good 5 wire Bosch sender. I was wonder if anyone has tried one and used it to tune you bug motor...

AEM are very good gauges -- and they are tuning aids -- just part of the tuning of your engine -- but a AFR meter is fantastic for getting it dialed in
Martin S.:
I have a PLX wideband in my turbo from about 8 years ago and it's mounted on the dash, as well as being connected to the Tec3r. It's almost essential with that setup.
I probably paid twice the price back then. The other difference I see is that there is no black box between the gauge and the sender now as the gauge connects directly to the sender with the AEM one. I was interested in having another one which could be swapped around on different motors to check how the tune is. $200 seems like it's worth it to have around as a tool.

I just bought a MTX-l, the controller and gauge is one unit. They are well under $200 and it also uses the latest Bosch LSU 4.9 sensor.
I did not want to install it permanently so I put it in a little project box, the kind that you can get and an electronics store(rip radio shack) so it is easy to move around from car to car.

I have very good experience with AEM Uego. And the customer service (a few years ago) was one of the best I've encountered. They helped me troubleshoot and fix a broken out-of-warranty gauge, by explaining what I had to do to repair it (solder a wire over a burnt copper track). And if I couldn't fix it, they'd "help me out", he said.
(Didn't want to send it in to them, since I live in Norway.)
