Looks decent, price is ok, not sure if this is the same one that comes out of Australia or not, Winnipeg Manitoba is hardly the tuning/ems capital of Canada, let alone the world, so this leads me to beleive these guys are just importing it from somewhere else...Rule Number1, get rid of the middleman..Max

I believe Wade has the FJO WB. That is not the same as the Oz DIY WB, that one is at http://www.techedge.com.au

I've had it for over a year and love it. It is a quality unit and I was totally satisfied until I had a question about how the unit worked. One of the engineers replied to my email within a day and completely answered all my questions, even informed me of an upgrade program they were having. This was a surprise to me, not just a great product and great price, but great support. David Lane has one and last I talked to him, he was totally happy with it as well.

I can't think of any reasons why someone would buy a more expensive unit, the FJO does just about everything a tuner could want, and has many features that other units do not have.

I also rent the unit to people who want to tune their cars themselves. It has held up great even with all the use.

FYi, it is made in Winnipeg, MB (my home town). The guy Fred, who makes them is an electronics guru, and in his full-time job does electronics for the military.

It works (somebody I autocross with has it), but so do the DIY kits (diy-efi), which I have also seen and used. They give the same readings for what it is worth. The difference is about $1000 CAD, but one you get ready to use, the other you have to make out of little tiny shiny pieces.

If I had the $$$ I would go with the FJO unit, but seeing as I have access to two wideband o2 sensors, I prefer not to spend the cash myself.

Cheers from Winnipeg, the mosquito capital of the world.

I thought Minnesota was the Mosquito capitol of the world. What's their state motto? "The land of 10,000 lakes, 10,000,000 mosquitos, and 1 fish."
