The PLX has a simulated narrowband output to feed the stock ecu. I don't know what you mean by "tune my boost properly" when you can only run stock boost on the stock ecu.

well when i am setting my boost controller that im getting (greddy profec B spec 2), and once i get the PFC i want to make sure im not running lean. yes i know you cant run over 10psi on the stock ecu but i also helps me figure out if the whole fuel system is working right. also what AFR should I NOT go above?

Go to PFC or Single Turbo forum to research AFRs, we've posted them MANY times.

the 2c0 of 2j1 for example

Do all of those units have a linear 0-5v output? This obviously isn't necessary for the datalog output to be accurate, but it does make setup less error prone.

Not all units transmit using a digital signal. The ones that do are less error prone and the gauges are often more versatile.

I have the PLX wideband O2, SM / DM-5 AFR. I use the AN2-AN2 inputs on the Datalogit with the supplied shunt cap and proper grounding and shielding. I get very reliable, low noise results. I was able to make minor tweaks to the Datalogit input range and it exactly matches the DM-5 display. I haven’t checked its calibration against a laboratory standard, but I have confidence it’s giving me good readings. Plus it was very straight forward in its installation.
