Looks nice though.
Unfortunately, this is the difference between FD and FC owners (as a general rule). FC owners like the FC because it is inexpensive and still performs rather well. FC owners usually paid less than $1000 for the car and hesitate to spend more than about $200 at a time on it, while FD owners have money to spend and want nothing but the very best for their car.

I am using the Haltech dual-channel wideband that Ludwig Motorsports gave me a great deal on (one for each rotor). It works very well. Having tried Innovate and AEM in the past, I was tired of unreliability and inaccuracy and was willing to spend a little more. (I paid $319.05 for the 2-channel wideband and two sensors).

Calibration is super-easy, the accuracy matches the $1200 wideband on the dyno within 0.1 AFR and connection only requires 4 wires, power, ground, Wideband 1, Wideband 2. Additional sensors (the only part that fails over time) are also very reasonable in price.

Besides, Chris is a very pleasant guy to work with, he is fair, fast and upfront.
