wideband on n/a?

I have a guy here in town talking about parting his car out. He has an AFC2 Apexi.

Curious is grabbing his wideband from the car as well would help me tune it better or if its pointless to use on an n/a

A wideband is an essential tool for tuning. You are blind without it, its a good idea to get one.

A wideband is always a good thing, turbo or n/a.

No, a wideband is not essential. Many, many, many cars were tuned using old fashioned yet highly reliable methods like reading plugs and an EGT gauge.

HOWEVER, a wideband is the easiest tuning aid and is thus the most popular. It will certainly help you achieve ideal air/fuel ratios if you know how to use it.
