No idea about a TurboXS model, but I was considering the NGK AFX myself. I found a comparison between popular widebands that showed the NGK having an error of 1.0 AFR, while the AEM had an error of only 0.10 AFR. The innovate wideband also had 0.10 AFR error, but had a slightly better latency too. Accuracy is what's it's all about, and 1.0 error is just unacceptable.

Found it on a mazda forum, but it looks like it's the second half of an article on a Ford site (http://www.fordmuscle.com/archives/2...out/index.php).

holy crap, i had no idea that it was that inaccurate! i had heard that the ngk's were less accurate than the aem and innovate units, but i was think that it would be + or - .25 afr at most! i think that for the money they charge, anything over .25 is definately unacceptable just as you said.....+ or - a whole afr! thats just crazy...

PLX is a good affordable wideband.

sooooo...anyone have more info or experience with turboxs wideband? i might be able to get a good deal, but to me, if its not with .25 afr accuracy, its not worth the discount.

I read a little on here that the plx was good. So I got it, and just installed it tonight. The sensor is still calibrating.
