Wideband Dilemma PLX or Innovate

trying to decide between the PLX M250 or the Innovate LM-1. Both same price.

Of the two I would go with the Innovative. However, I think the TE 2b0 is the best buy for the money. It is reasonably priced, can be configured to use either Bosch sensor, has a linearized 0-5v output, a ground reference output, and can be used to log other things, such as EGTs.

My only concern is the big box associated with the LM1 for the readout.

The Tech Edge is as accurate or better and doesn't have a big box. I have mine mounted in the center console where the stock Bose dash speaker amp used to be.

I like my LM-1 and the Innovate forum with lots of tech support.

Gotham Racing has PLX on sale as per their change-of-address letter I received several days ago.

Either way a working WBO2 is a must-have!

This is a little off topic and is about the Innovate LC-1. This setup seems much simpler then having the LM-1 and the display. I would like to know how exactly I would connect the LC-1 (from one of its outputs) to the A'PEXi Power FC.

good choice. so did I and its a top notch product. I especially like the xd-1 AFR gauge. I am pretty sure you get a adapter for hooking up the datalogit and FC commander and the LC-1 all together. Check with Innovate. Also heard really good things about the heatsink bung extender for mounting the sensor, I am gonna pick up one of those.
