Stay away from that Made-in-Taiwan ****.
Ever checked his feedback?
The key is to ignore all the positive ones and look at the negative ones.
Read between the lines.
Looked at all the other stuff that the seller currently has on eBay?
Squint real hard, and it smells like ssautocrap...cheap labor, SE Asian, poor quality.
Hell, I'd even recommend Autometer over this gamble.
At least Autometer is Made in USA!

They look really nice, but for the money, I'd rather invest in some Japan gauges.
Hell, it could even be a down payment on the MoteC ADL with backlight!

I dunno man, I think Nexus gauges are damn sexy! Name a cheaper good looking electronic gauge and I will definitely consider it 
On the other hand, I can get some Defis but they cost just as much. Motec would be nice but talk about bank lol. I forget, is that the self tuning one?

However if that's too expensive, take a look at my setup. I've got an LC1 feeding the narrowband gauge so the actual readout reflects the wideband equivalent. I still need to mark where AFRs like 14, 13, 12, 11, 10 are so I can have a closer reference. From what I was reading you can program the LC1's output. So in theory I could have this gauge only display A/F ratios from 15 to 10 giving me a really wide visual range to identify where my actual A/F ratios are. Anything higher than 12.5 at full boost should scare me, so I could just make everything on the left side of center (marked as stoich) be over 12.5 and everything on the right side be under 12.5 and as long as I'm in the rich area it should be good (near 11-12 afr.
