as my understanding goes this thingamybob just modifies the air to fuel mixture and bolts onto the ecu or something? what exactly is the narrowband and wideband thing about, dont the both do the same thing?

please explain it in laymans terms, like you are talking to a 9 year old...cheers

lol. the narrow/wide band sensor and gauge just measures the air and fuel, it's use tells you if the the car is running the correct mix of fuel and air, no extra pony's will come out ov it when fitted.
