So for fitting a afr guage, I would need a wideband? Sorry if Im sounding stupid, just want to make sure I get the right lambda.

Thanks

you can use either,wide band more accurate but i am just using standard narrow band one for my afr gauge as just want a general warning of if its lean or rich not the exact figures etc...
