I know that Tiago Vieria at VRSF will give you a smoking deal on a brand new AEM UEGO if you ask him really nicely. :D Not sure about the innovate.

Native WB support FTW!! If you're interested in the chip route, consider the Moates Ostrich 2.0. I can provide you with maps you might want/need, so coding won't be such a hassle. Just upload, tweak, and go.

Ostrich is a stand alone system right?

Who is he and how do I get in touch with him? What is VRSF?!?

Not really. You still need you eprom ECU. The Ostrich replaces your eprom allowing you to modify the ECU software without the need to remove the chip, reprogram and reinstall it. It saves you a huge amount of time. It's found here .

You will also need some software to interface the Ostrich to your PC and the most commonly used with it is TunerPro. You can find it here .

Not sure if you were referring to me or the OP. If so I've gone that route, at least on paper, as my car sits on stands since 2010 and I haven't got found the will or time to install all the goodies that I presented her with in that time. I am so bad that I've updated the updates that I haven't installed yet (i.e. bought a 2g MAF only to then go ahead and buy an EVO MAF before even installing the 2G). So the Ostrich 2.0 along with a couple of spare eprom ECUs are ready in a drawer waiting for the car to be running again. I Need to work out the mechanical gremlins before starting to mess with the code, I even removed the 16g and going back to a 14b in order to start from a stable setup.

Ah, gotcha. Awesome. After finally learning hexediting, and reading all the disassemblies on the usergroups, and finally learning what the code is saying and how TO code...I love it so much more than anything on the market. :D Are you a member of the DSM-ECU forums? http://forum.dsmecu.com/index.php if not. :D

WTF?! Member since 03, and 7 posts? Troll much? HAHAHA

Another DSM'er that I bought one of those kits (not that specific one, he got a Tech Edge from Australia), and it looked like a fun project. I know it's not the same one you're looking at, but the kits should be fairly similar. Be sure to read over any forums that they may have, as sometimes, assembly instructions are wrong.

You got me! I am a supertroll if anything. Well, for more than four years I retired as a DSMer and the car went in storage so those don't count. Bottom line I always thought that if you don't have anything worth adding to a thread there's no point in adding clutter.

I'll keep my BS sensors on then. It seems a pretty straightforward kit. I've done a lot of soldering, prototyping as well hex, asm and whatnot programming, both as a hobby and professionally so I should not have too many problems in that department.

Yes, i am also a member on DSM-ECU where I kept to my trolling guidelines(!), there's a ton on info there and lots of nice people willing to help.

I guess I'll let you know once I get the GST back on the road and chipped!

I actually likt that PLX one, it's thin and I like how it has the Red/Yellow/Green LED's on the outside edge.

I have a local DSMer that posted his 1ga Laser RS-t for sale and he's willing to part out his wideband for me. It's a AEM but he wants $125 and it has 15k miles around a year old. Should I snag a used one or just go for a new one?

So I caught up just now with the kid selling the AEM one out of his Laser. His car was actually quite a mess, however he showed me it turned on. He also decided to throw in a decent 14b turbo, manifold, and oil return line for free :) So looks like tomorrow I will finally have my wideband!

Hell yeah, man!! AEM Widebands are pure win, and their replacement sensors are cheap as hell...and best part? Three wires to connect, and you're DONE. No programming, no million wires to hook up and find. You'll love it. :D

I'm just glad he's gonna throw in a 14b turbo too! I was gonna look for one to upgrade in the spring time so I can have a full 2 1/2 inch exhuast. He is gonna throw in a Greddy boost controller. Once he saw mine was a 1.8T he started telling me he will let me have a whole bunch of stuff with it

Yea, I made sure it worked and he's pulling it now and will have it ready for me tomorrow @ $125. Sound like a good deal?

So I now own a AEM Wideband and a rebuildable 14b w/manifold and o2 housing for $120!

Soooooooo how do I hook it up?!?

It has a red and black which I assume are positive and negative, has a blue wire which he said is a key on source and a white wire which he forgot what it was for?

No, the blue wire is for a RS232 comm port for hyper terminal datalogging. In English, you're not going to use it.


The white wire is your analog 0-5v output. It's used for stuff like ECMLink and an Ostrich with TunerPro that logs your AFR's of your wideband, so you can look back and see what it was. Again, you're not using that one either.


RED <Power>
Connect to a switched 10-18 volt power source utilizing a 10A fuse.
BLACK <Ground>
Connect to a clean power ground.
*WHITE <Analog Output>
Connects to any auxiliary unit that accepts a 0-5 volt input.
*BLUE <Serial Output>
Connects to a RS-232 com port for hyper-terminal data logging.


* denotes optional.

^HAHA! That kid had it all wired wrong then.

Any chance of having it wired wrong could cause damage to it?
He had the red to a constant and a blue to ignition switched source how he explained it. So I can actually connect the white wire to my Neo for input if desired. Hmm, I think I may try and hook it up on my lunch. How lean do you think I am actually gonna be lol.

I know this is a bit of an oldy, but I have the entire AEM UEGO instruction manual if you want a copy of it GTA. It also says that it uses some kind of fancy Bosch O2 sensor which might be useful to know in case it ever poops out.

I doubt having it wired up wrong could do much damage. Maybe if it was long term but the guy probably couldn't get it to work the first day he had it in and decided to take it out. What a derp :p.
