air/fuel ratio gauges?
Does anyone know how accurate these gauges are?
They are made from a company called "Defi". How reputable is this company.
I wanted an accurate air/fuel ratio gauge without breaking the bank. I have a 10 led Tei-point gauge now.
Would the Defi be any better?

Yeah Rikki is correct wideband is the only real way to WOT tune without putting your engine at risk:
If you really need a AF guage i have heard good things about this place - dont know if they really work tho but the principal seems to make sence. Altho im not sure i trust a company called Gadgetseller

Im sure you all know that the problem with a AF meter that isn't wide band is that the O2' sensors have a very narrow voltage range(about 4vs i think), what that company do is increase the sensitivity of the guage to pickup smaller changes in voltage thus hopefully giving a slightly more accurate reading at WOT
What im planning to do is too get one of these next month and then take my car in for Wideband tuning on my AFC and compare the readings of the tuned AF guage with the Wideband. I will let you know my findings!
Still i wouldn't want to tune my engine for maximum performance on one of these things !

Compare the price of replacing an engine to something like the oz-wb. It never ceases to amaze me how some people can be so cheap on something like this but have no problem buying "bling-bling" crap.
