Wideband and Narrowband at the same time???
How many of you are running a wideband and narrowband at the same time?
What's the point of running a narrowband? Long term trim? Is it worth it?
I ask since I just got a PLX wideband sensor and am considering yanking my stock narrowband from my downpipe. I also have the hydra wideband. Which I am going to remove after tuning.

Well this is really a tuning issue vs a monitoring issue. If my **** is lean in boost I will know it pretty quickly :|
Is narrowband closed or open loop feedback to the EMS a good thing? And if so, why?

I don't know about Hydra, but unless you live someplace where the weather is constant, (like socal, lol ) the stock ecu, (or my old link) uses the narrow band o2 to ensure the best mpg and low emissions regardless of temp/weather conditions during low throttle or cruising. You could use a wideband o2, a lot of the newer cars do, but would be a waste if you don't have a wideband gauge to monitor, or your ecu doesn't adj. fuel % while cruising.

Bumping this from the dead since I'm about to have a downpipe made....Should I put a 2nd bung for a narrowband, or just go wideband ? I'm assuming I can tune out and CEL lights for the lack of a NB o2 on any standalone I get (most likely a MS).
So from what I've got - the NB o2 is good for idle tuning, but other than that it is worthless - correct?
