  • glowshift wideband review and info needed

    im looking into possibly getting a glowshift wide band gauge. I found one that has a 0-5volt output for data logging and is reasonable in price. they also have a goost gauge both are 2 1/16 in size. any info on them would be great.

    glowshift wideband http://www.glowshiftdirect.com/Tinte...uel-Gauge.aspx $184.99

    A lot of guys dislike glowshift. I have had good luck with their normal gauges (trans temp, volts, fuel pressure)

    I have heard its worth spending the extra $30 for the aem brand

        Glowshift is kind of a "budget" brand... not what i would go with for a wideband. While I have 3 glowshift gauges in my car, they are all just digital readout gauges and thats all I would personally recommend buying from them considering there is nothing to really break but the sensor... I think id avoid even the analog sweep stuff.

        I found this thread to be quite informative, I plan on going with an NGK when i get around to doing my 24x conversion

          Great thread. But that thing is huge. Lol. Do you know anything about the prosport gauges. The seem to be built well. I really like the evo to.

            I honestly do not, they look like quality pieces though.

              In just looking for reference and logging purposes. Im not good at tuning yet so just need something to get the basics down with.

                AEM gauge in my IROC does its job but I use my Zeitronix ZT-2 for tuning. I finished tuning my 6.0 so it's available, heard Phil only uses his own WB though

                  Just food for thought.... I bought my Innovate LC-1 wideband for around $130, and it included the guage, controller, output cables, and data loger capability when you use it through your EGR.

                  Glowshift guages are asthetically nice, but for what your paying - I think it would be better to shop around a bit more.

                  By the way.... what's a "Goost" gauge?

                    Ha ha its the gauge the measures how much boost you get when you goose it. Goost gauge. Lol.
                    I was think lc-1 at 1st but all the threads iv been reading say stay away. And theres others with people switching.
                    Im really leaning twards the pro sport evo gauges. They have ok reviews and theres a few tuners that have used them for data logging I like them for a lower line gauge. I just gotta make this money stretch.

                      I played it safe and ordered a innovate mtx-l. Going to wire it throught the egr for data logging. I was to nervouse to try something new. Only paid $159
