If anyone else wants to know please PM me, but basically I haven't posted the info on the forum yet is because the controller is a kit without a case, you have to source the sensor from either an online shop somewhere or a VW dealership and then your responsible for finding a case to house the controller and make your sensor cable. Takes a bit of DIY effort and soldering skills Nothing too hard though.

    I'm considering doing a group buy once I finish school (<a month) and getting all the materials together and selling them as a plug-and-pray solution

    are these the old DIY-WB ones?
    what do they use for a control loop/algorithm?


    how accurate are they?

    just checked out the WB one seem pretty good $$ for pre built unit at around $412 including wideband sensor, controller and display.

    as aposed to XR pilot's one which would set you back about $250 ish (cheaper if you build it your self)

    ive got the Innovate LC1, for ease of install, and @ <$300 its great IMO should be pretty cheap now the way the Aussie $$$$ is compared to the US$

    Yes I would have bought the Innovate, but I wanted to support the Aussie WBO2 guys, and I already had one of their units...

    Nope, not the DIY-WB. As far as I know that site doesn't exist anymore does it? At least not run by the author anyhow.

    Can't answer the algorithm question, but I'll forward on the details if you want to check it out for yourself There is a forum where you can ask questions.

    Not sure how accurate they are, I'm going to compare it against a Dyno Dynamics wideband, but haven't had the time yet. Hence why I am hesitant to post the info up for all to see yet, incase they turn out crap

    thanks for the info, looks like a cheap quick n dirty way to do it and for most of us, it will be enough
