    Wouldn't be surprised. Think my first one came from one of your group buys? Think I've always had it on the TT and that as the VR2 just celebrated it's 5th anniversary. How times fly!!

    (gauge, aftermarket ecu, or some sort of converter for pc input)

    i originally owned a lc1, it died after a week and the rma took almost 2 months,
    i sold my replacement unit and bout a plx with gauge for pretty much the same money

    plx has been in my car for 2-3ish years no probs

    Howabout this as another option INNOVATE MTX-L? I was on the verge of getting an AEM UEGO until NJ pointed out that it's narrowband emulator wasn't programmable. I'm pretty much sold on this already as the evo forums suggest it works the same as an LC-1 with evoscan.

    I've spotted these on ebay and have been thinking about one too. Maybe we can negotiate a group buy? That said, I've noticed xenonlv is unstable, they pull stock mid-listing by increasing the price tenfold so you don't buy.

    Sorry John, please could you rephrase that, your meaning isn't clear, are you recommending the MTX-L?

    Yeah Jason thats a 2 thumbs up , meaning I like the product as it offers the usage as a visable gauge like the AEM but also the programable side of the old LC1

    They change the price when they are unable to supply the products , to be honest they could just end the listing but as they have probably paid for a 30 day listing they may have stock back in before the end

    Sweet, might have to get one then, it definitely has the serial out compatible with EvoScan?

    That makes sense, have you bought from them before though? I'm just curious as to their reliability.

    Yep they have a 3.5mm serial line to connect to a lappy

    Not bought from them but look at the wifi interface ifor PC's and Iphones they do for the lc-1 and it states to contact them as they are not released yet

    I'd be up for a group buy provided it came off fairly quickly - maybe ask how much for 5 and see if we can get three others?

    Only had a quick look at this MTX kit on my mob. But it looks like a renamed and revamped Innovate XD1 kit ? These were on the go 6+ years ago.. Not read the bumf on it yet though!

    Looks like they have now fitted the controller part(LC-1) inside the gauge itself. So just make for less cabling

    That's with xenonlv on eBay, doubt they'll help you in this circumstance.

    From what my puny likkle brain can understand, this kit is a full kit and needs nothing more to display AFR readings?

    Yep Atik looks like even your tiny little brain has got it correct

    The only other thing is for you to decide if you are going to replace the stock lambda and run the MTX in narrowband emulate mode , or to have a new bung installed and have the second lambda fitted in the de-cat

    Yep totally self contained, it includes a Bosch LSU4.2 sensor and the controller is built into the gauge, all you need to do is wire up power and ground to get it working.

    You will however have to reprogram one of it's outputs to simulate narrowband and connect that to the old o2 sensor loom, so your ECU knows what fuel to supply. I can assist with that if required

    Edit: or as John says, fit another bung further down the exhaust for this sensor and keep your old narrowband sensor for your ECU.

    Ok, thats me decided then... I will have one

    That takes me to the magic number of 3 gauges to get fitted in the car, which is my project for the next few weeks.
