Which wideband for PowerLogger?

I love innovatives website and articles, but I think they're actual products aren't all that great.
Personally I run a PLX and have been 100% happy with it. Since I too have a powerlogger I got the cheap one that doesn't come with a gauge.
Installation was a little tricky as I didn't want to make a hole big enough for that huge W/B plug to pass through so i extracted all the pins, ran the wire outside then reinstalled the plug.
Installation of the brain box was easy. I Velcroed it to the left of my glove box and ran a short wire to my PL AUX box.

OP- I am also running a PLX, and have no complaints. I haven't hooked it up to the PL yet, as I am just getting ready to do that.
Earl, where on the PLX brain box did you run the wire to?

I highly recommend PLX. The simplest and least expensive option would be their SM-AFR, with no gauge and use your scanmaster, either standard or gauge as your wideband display as I do. Their latest versions are very fast and accurate! And unlike antiquated Innovate widebands, the PLX is self calibrating and doesn't require regular manual calibrations like the Innovate products.
Stick with PLX, you'll be very happy, and your wallet will thank you.

I used an autometer with my sd2 for a couple years before switching to xfi so it would match my other gauges, worked great. I forget which but it works on the same scale as either plx or aem, depending on which update you have autometer will or will not be listed in the menu to choose from. I'd sell it to you cheap if youre interested

I have AEM in line/ no gage . Connected to the powerlogger & displayed on scan master. The "controller " is about the size of a 12 gauge shotgun shell completely sealed in line and mounted in the engine compartment, just feed the wires through firewall to powerlogger.

I put my WB in the test pipe. You needed to use two o2 sensors, one for the ECU, one for the chip to use. I used inline AEM, no need to have more gauges. My personal opinion is the less gauges and one central display unit the better. Not that it matters to this conversation, but I have eliminated all my gauges except for the MANUAL oil pressure gauge and the Temp gauge. All others read through one central display device. It's a cleaner look and is less clutter.

I run the AEM UEGO. Plug n play, no calibration. I mounted it in the downpipe just before the heater box on the top. Way down under the brake booster, there is a big punchout that can be used to pass the giant W/B plug through. Take a look, you'll see it.
