I'm trying to decide if I should buy an Innovate LM-2 kit (external meter) or just get one of their gauge kits. I'm leaning towards a gauge kit thought because I kinda like having a digital readout of the AFR. I was looking at the XD-16 + LC-1 kits, but now that they have the new MTX-L gauges with the LC-1 controller built right into the gauge, and they are even cheaper, I was leaning towards one of those.

I want to be able to do data logging in the future though and I'm just not sure how capable the gauge kit or MTX-L's are in this area. I already have an odbii meter, so that's not really a big deal... but it's a nice bonus feature of the LM-2 kits.

I guess I really want to know if anyone has used any of these wideband devices to do data logging and how well they worked.

EDIT: I'm also planning on probably getting a MS ECU at some point too so let me know if that changes things. I know they can do data logging too, but not sure how well these play together. I'm pretty new to the logging/tuning stuff too so take it easy on me if I say something stupid.

Everyone does lol MTX-L ftw! Love it

Thanks. I'm really leaning towards getting the MTX-L ($170 shipped on ebay) but I just thought there had to be a reason that the XD-16 + LC-1 kits are over double the price ($399).

Why is this? What is the advantage of going the latter route?

EDIT: Used, I can get the XD-16 + LC-1 for about $240. Is it worth it vs. paying $170 for the MTX-L?

I have the lc-1 gauge kit its nice and easy to read I do not log but like to keep an eye on my A/F. For the money its not bad paid 150 for it new.

Okay.. well since I see no reason that the LC-1 + XD-16 kit is any better than the MTX-L, I guess I'm getting the MTX-L and hoping for the best.

I picked up the MTX-L a couple months ago. I am going to be installing in the next few weeks.

The XD-16 is discontinued, replaced with the MTX-L. I don't see why anyone would have any issues with it. Innovate is top notch quality, IMO.

Good to hear. My MTX-L is on the way.
