like the title reads.....which wideband, innovate, or aem wideband?

i've read http://mazda3online.web.aplus.net/index.php?cPath=27_42
but this doesnt mean much to a non-mechanically inclined person.....such as myself. Help, is it worth the difference in price.... i probably in the future will get the unichip and let JDM SAM tune it for me, but right now im lvn the boost alone. Any information will be greatly appreciated, thx :)

Good question. I am wondering the same thing now that you brought it up! I will definitely need one for my rebuild. I was looking into the aem since that is the ems I will be getting.

i am TRYing to order the aem... i talked the aem and inovate over with ken and he said the inovate doesn't mount in a gauge pod easily and the aem comes with like 3 rings and 2 faceplates and u can change the lights (they are same as sidemarkers) to any color you want :) can u say match stock gauges? now all i need is to get a hold of ken again!

i went with the aem but thats before i found out that the innovative can hook up to any gauge you want. you can get the innovative with a gauge but i think its ugly. for like $200 you can get a version without the gauge and you can tayl9or the 2 outputs in any fashion you want. my friend set his to output wideband to his ems and simulate a narrowband to his gauge so all his gauges match. he said its works much better now. i havent seen it in action yet because he cant keep his engine together and running for more than a week. hope this helps.

NGK Powerdex A/F Wideband .... big and bright numbers ... costs the same as an AEM wideband gauge.
