I'm looking at putting an air fuel gauge in my frst looking at the INNOVATE MTX-L anyone used one got any information on these or recommend a different one cheers

I have installed the mtx l since 2010 and I am really pleased. This is faster compared to other models, this has to do with the speed the AFR changes in your engine. Not that the other models from other from other companies are inaccurate, but I think that since you are going to buy something, you try to buy the best your money can offer. It has full instructions inside, I just have to suggest that you must not install it too close to turbo to avoid overheating and damaging the sensor. Also, prior installing, you must take a reading on open air for the gauge to have a reference point, it is a calibration. Also you must check that your exhaust manifold and all the connections till the sensor position are tight seal, otherwise the readings won't be accurate. All these are in the leaflet that comes with the instrument, I just tell them to you to know what's involved.

Ok cheers mate how far down the exhaust do you think I should put the lamba sensor would a couple of foot so just behind the engine be alright? I've watched the video on how to calibrate it cheers

I have installed it about 15-20 cm away from the exhaust housing of the turbo, just after the turn of the downpipe to the rear of the car. Also the tip of the lamda sensor must be pointing downwards or at an angle to avoid condensation which will affect sensors life.
