Wideband O2 or EGT for max tuning?

[Orin Eman]

More like a war on the diy-efi list.

Scale of the WB sensors is at the whim of the designer and most
certainly does not match that of a normal sensor.

You could take a look at:

http://www.diy-efi.org/diy_efi/projects/diy_wb

but be _sure_ you understand the user agreement.

There is also www.egortech.com for a commercial version
which resulted from the first attempt at doing this on the diy-efi list.
