   yes air/fuel ratio gauges are very good and very handy at showing exactly what the engine is doing.
   
   Fit jut like an other gauge but i would buy one that comes with its own lambda sensor rather than tap into the original

   like any other gauge, there only as good as the manufactur wants to make them, id try to buy one with a certificate or accuracy if you want it to read correct...

   if you want a proper accurate one then you need a £1000+ wideband one, not a £100-£300 narrow band. if its not a 6 wire wideband sensor it wont be as accurante, however narrowband is fine as an indication which is to .1

    as long as its matched to the sensor and its from a good company then you cant go wrong, ie luminition with matched sensors, alpha, motec etc

    it will be the alpha one, its matched to the sensor so its fine, also lights up all the lights so you know exactly where the fueling is, same one ive got.

    well thats what the lambda and ecu modifies all the time, thats what your lambda sensors for, there is no set ratios, ecu chooses the best based on air temp, engine temp, water temp, oxygen content etc
