To be honest I don't know much about it yet. I'm still having a bit of trouble getting my datalogit to read it as well.

But when I am at idle, it will read around 20. Or it will say AIR or LEA (I"m guessing Lean)
When I drive around it deffinetly is responsive. I don't have anything to compare the #'s against though so I'm not sure how accurate it is. At wot in 2nd/3rd it was sitting at 10.8-11.

Yeah that's why I'm not sure how accurate it is. I have nothing to compare the #'s against. However if I'm 10.8 at wot, that sounds about right.

That's what I was hoping for. I searched quite a bit for finding guages that would look somewhat OEM. If they only had a silver bezel.

You can always take the chrome off the stock rings.

If you don't like the chrome rings but want OEM, you can go the 99 oem route which are black:

chrome rings set the cluster off. Look at Mazda, they removed them in the '99 spec then brought them back in the 2002 spec - they're a cool feature of our cars IMO... and it seems Mazda thought so too!

If you are running the air pump your wideband will read lean while it is running; idle to about 2-3000. Disconnect the electric plug that runs to the air pump when you want to take readings in these areas of your map.
