Just another "me too" wideband. I don't see anything special or innovative about it. It's also kind of homemade.

It does use the newer Bosch 4.9 sensor along with the proper chipset instead of the older 4.2. On paper the 4.9 is more accurate, quicker reacting, and more durable.

The only way to really know the results is to compare it against a lab grade unit that's been calibrated.

I was seriously considering the Ecotrons after doing a lot of reading and ended up going with a 14point7. So far no complaints, but I have no way of knowing how accurate it is. What's nice tho is it allows multiple sensor inputs (more than a PFC) with log capability. I currently have it set up to read fuel pressure and IAT

They also have a neat device that feeds multiple gauge graphics to a tablet via WiFi. I was thinking this would be better than a bunch of mechanical gauges all over the car. Since I already had a water and oil temp gauge, I didn't feel like messing with them.

The rectangular displays of the ecotrons or PP2.1 fit nicely in the DIN BTW
