I went ahead and dropped the cash on the wideband. I went with a AEM UEGO per some friends' recommendations. I also ordered a pair of shorter front springs. I was wondering if I'm going to need to shorten my Bilstein Sports as well when I ship them in to get rebuilt. How many of you had your struts & shocks shortened?

My kinda car, looks great man! Now get some color in that rust ;) Orange runs? then a misting with oil and fuel?

I'm tossing a few ideas around, writing the good ones down;)

Is that what you ended up going with? I've been scoping out your build thread but haven't gotten a chance to read all the way through the turbo part. What happened to the meth??

yup, I love the Mtx-l it has a much further reading range than my friends AEM and when tuning a turbo car there are times when you are stupid rich and you need a guage to show it. My car has been happily running on meth since the first install with no issues. Going to up the meth flow soon and squeeze some more power out

I highly recommend the AEM UEGO.

M12x1.5 is a -6AN fitting. You can find a -4an to -6an adapter fitting for sub $3 on summit as well. You'd have a worry free line for $35.

I had the LC-1 wideband on my last setup and I bought an MTX this time around. The AEM is also very nice!

LC-1 is good from what I hear & it was between that and an AEM UEGO for the longest time, but I've honestly been leaning towards the AEM. Didn't know about the MTX, I'll have to give that a look.

Innovate MTXL is awesome and has a nice wide range

Nice work man... So going all solid in the rear from the speed shop is worth it? I need to re-work all my rear bushings also....

Well for me it was & I'd recommend them to anyone. It gives the car a nice tight feel!

And also, as far as the oil line goes, I don't think it's worth running the eBay one. There might be a few good reviews, but there are plenty bad ones as well. It can cause some serious damage to your whole system if that oil line blows. Summit racing part # NOS-15240NOS (assuming your fittings are -4an) is a great line that I ran on my last turbo m20 and will be running on my current setup. It's not too expensive either.

That is real cheap. I will probably get that in the future most likely. First priority is a wideband! I also got the eBay one though because its a m12x1.5 feed line fitting on the turbo & none of the local shops could make me a feed line. I just ended up going banjo style over AN. Thanks again for the warnings on the eBay line, I didn't realize that the reviews were this bad:shock:

CXracing sells an aluminum intake elbow. I have one but have yet to fit it. eBay is where to find them.

Check eBay for the wideband as well, they seem to have the best deals around.

Will do man, thanks for all the tips! I did plan on getting the wideband from eBay, much cheaper than other places! Didn't know CXracing sold intake elbows as well, awesome!
