Innovate LC1 is cheap. Naw is cheaper with a display (14point7.com). It wouldnt be hard to sort out the display business once youve got a controller.
Ive got this
Which ill prob sell shortly for about £50 delivered inc a case. Tis a JAW wideband controller and display. Works with any bosch wideband sensor, can find them off audis in the scrapper etc or i got one new delivered for £32
Tis like the megasquirt of widebands really but its pretty good. Has got pretty decent specs, has the hardware to do datalogging stored onto an onboard memory but its not implemented in the firmware yet

£150 from GMC but without display
The Jaw jobbie is a serious alternative thou, if a assembled unit with display is available 'get it'

Could not get a in car display rather than needing laptop to use? I have my own laptop but just would like one have on all time.

Yes it is m8e, the above pictured displays are pretty cool for the money, you can get AFR gauge's to suit your's & mine LC-1 wideband, there not cheap thou I should know as I just spent £150 on the Innovate G3 AFR & boost gauges but that did include an expensive oil drain flange which the turbo kit didnt come with
They both look like this: -
Hope that helps.

Look at the link the Ryan posted, you'll see that the JAW gauge is on a flying lead which doesnt require a laptop, as its on the end of a lead you can position it on the dash somewhere.

The needle type gauges just take a voltage range. Something like jaw you can configure. IE 9 afr =0v 19afr= 5v. So you can use any afr gauge with jaw.
But it also includes a display like the one in my pics, Can be placed anywhere, and daisy chained, you could ahve 4 displays wired in with egt, boost, rpm and afr. The displays are only £15 each ish!!
See display here

Ryan that looks like a really neat solution, you should get a couple made up and sell them as there seems to be no one selling prebuilt units, you would definatley have a few customer on here
I have two lambda points on my downpipe so could plum in a second o2 gauge in for peace of mind that i'm not running lean/rich

Do i need a adapter for turbo to adapt to downpipe? How can i use the standard mani for turbo for the time being? Just want to get it running then upgrade in the near future. Im not too bothered about it costing abit more, etc. I just want a base then upgrade certain parts.
