Innovate brand lc-1

I found this:
Amazon.com: Innovate Motorsports 3795 DB BLUE Complete Wideband Gauge Kit (2 1/16 52mm) with LC-1, O2 Sensor, Bung and Plug: Automotive Amazon.com: Innovate Motorsports 3795 DB BLUE Complete Wideband Gauge Kit (2 1/16 52mm) with LC-1, O2 Sensor, Bung and Plug: Automotive

Innovate brand opposed to AEM which I have actually heard of. I've seen a few sales of these on here. I'm not sure if that means its good or bad?
This is the cheapest one I've found tho so thats whats got me interested hate to say, but I'm on a budget.
Maybe any of you boosted guys could tell me a little bit about it. I have an Apexi SAFC-2 that need a wideband.
Let me hear some positives & or negatives
Thanks!

innovate is one of the oldest wideband manufacturers and has probably outsold most of the other guys. if you haven't heard of them, you haven't been paying attention for the last 15 years or so lol. the innavate LM-1 was probably the first widely available WB02 for the masses.

that said, i had two bad experiences with innovate personally, and i would not get another one. lots of people swear by them though.

does the AEM UEGO have datalogging/line out capabilities nowadays? they didn't used to, which made them fairly useless for tuning. It would tell you that you had a problem after you already had the problem, and it also had a **** range of operation, only 11-17afr which was crap. hopefully they have addressed these two shortcomings, otherwise it's still just a pretty gauge with a brand name like it was back around 2005-2006ish, and no actual useful abilities.

I don't see any higher than 18, AEM says the analog line can handle up to 20. There is both an analog and a digital line out.

I had issues with mine as well, it always needed to be recalibrated and within the first month of owning it the sensor went out completely. Innovative replace it free of charge but I sold it once I got the new sensor.

on my gauge it the AEM only shows 18 before blinking for too lean and 10 blinking if too rich. however, the EMU while datalogging shows values higher than 18.

An issue that i noticed was that the number shown on the gauge is off by approximately 1 AFR on the emu. it's pretty huge of a difference. I felt most power (NA at least) when the gauge showed around 12.2 which ended up being around 13.x on the emu.
