£180 sure bosch and delphi do wide band lambda`s
It's not just the wideband your buying remember, its the controller also. The LC1 kit comes with a Bosch sensor.As Behold says it's a bit cheaper than I remember anyway.
The LC1 is one of the cheapest you can get either way.

Binned our innovate stuff. Way to tempremental. PLX stuff has performed faultlessly over the last 2 years. EDO performance sell it.
Shame there's no serial option with any of the bigger name brands. Admitedely my LC1 has occasionally decided to throw error codes rather than AFR readings, but for the price can't be knocked too much.
I'm also using an Powerdex AFX unit for car to car portability which also works nice but more dollar.
PLX looks good from an easy calibration point of view
LC1 and MTX are around £150 these days.
Everyone complains about them, but they sell the most in the market, also seen plenty of PLX complaints. The wiring in the LC1 is fiddly unless you go with serial like Mr Max says.
Still they have been fine for me and Ive managed to beat just about everyone in the NA BHP/Cube stakes at SRR over the years.

is it best to mount the widebands in one of the narrow band locations and for tuning or is it best to have a set of bungs welded in, so you can keep the narrow band and also use the wideband for tuning/logging?
It's easier to use the narrow band mounts as they are already there. Should really use the ones pre-cat which can be hard to reach on stock headers (no such woes with long-tubes). Using the rears can work though especially for WOT, no less accurate than the tail-pipe sniffer used at dyno's.'Better' would be to have new bungs welded behind the stock front locations so you can run both narrow and wide.

Yeah, lc1 has 2 outputs so you can feed the ecu and scan tool at the same time.
The output wave is a different shape to stock, but still works fine.
Wasn't suggesting using the wideband as a narrow band.The output wave is a different shape to stock, but still works fine.
Tried this, don't bother. If the LC1 has a temperamental moment the duff output pretty much stalls the engine.
Keep the two separate IMO.
