Not sure this is the best place to ask but what are peoples views on the following Wideband controllers.
Innovate LC1
Techedge 2J1

Both are now the same price.
Or is there a better controller for similar money.

I have just ordered the Dynojet one after hearing that people had some difficulties with the LC1, slightly more money though.

I have an Innovate LC1.

It’s disconnected because nobody, including some of the most trusted and experienced names in TVR have been able to make it work accurately. A total waste of my money.

No experience of the other one.

I've got an Innovate LC1 which works fine, I know that they have a pretty mixed reputation though. I also have a Zeitronics ZT-1 which had a very snazzy display with extra sensors and so on, that also worked fine until I set it on fire, afterwards not so much. frown

How much did you pay for these chaps, I might look into doing something better.

Dynojet Wideband Commander.. Hands down. Fitted by SC-Power on their cars, TVR Power and several race teams. Self calibrating and has a ridiculously good record. Mine has performed faultlessly though it does cost a fair bit more than an LC-1. Then again, its a fair bit better!

The prices look pretty darned cute. Judging by your recommendation I guess they work well too?
