Default Wide band O2 gauge

So for those who have them. Do you run 2 or just 1? I'm just looking for in the future I want wideband for tuning. I was thinking about getting the gauge bezel with 2 pods in it so i can run 2 widebands.

I just run one. when you get a car tuned at a shop they only use one, and half the time they just stick it in the tail pipe. I figured one is good enough.

Yep only running one here, just an FyI aem makes a new no weld bungfor 02 sensors all you do is drill a hole and its like a wormdrive clamp with a seal and a bungon it, works wonders for wideband installs.

the only car i know of that you would need 2 on ar the Z32 twin turbo 300ZXs. that is simply because they have 1 intake, turbo, intercooler and exhaust for each bank.

just installed my autometer wideband last week. installed it on the drivers side rear o2 bung (rears turned off in tune and i have lt's).

i put mine in the stearing column single pod. i also installed the cluster bezel dual pod with oil pres and vac/boost.
