I was told by a good friend (that I trust completely, has a TT Supra so he knows his ****) to stay away from the AEM widebands. Atleast with the sensor they come with....they have trouble reading over a certain AFR. He recomended going with one of the innovative units.

Could I get a wideband sensor and just A/F gauge?? Or it doesnt work like that.

Wideband: Innovate Motorsports - you can't go wrong.

Boost Controller: many, but Blitz and Greddy come to mind. I rock a Greddy Profec Type S.

I have an AEM UEGO wideband and haven't had any problems with it. It doesn't read any leaner than 18.0 or any richer than 10.0, but to be honest you shouldn't really need it to.

Check out the new MSD Lazer Gauges. Supposed to be one of the most accurate gauges out there.
Oops sorry, just now saw you were looking for a boost controller, but anyways those gauges are nice

What's your price range? I think the zeitronix zt-2 works good, I have one, and I've installed in on many cars.

Boost controller, there's a lot of good ones but I recommend the AVC-R

the best boost controller is the old school profec B....10x more reliable than any of the new units. If you want to go with a wideband, Id go with zeitronix. Very accurate and reliable setup.

Profec B Spec 2? Why? I've tuned at least 100 cars with the Profec B Spec 2, and haven't had any issues.
