    In my opinion, ECM is the standard of the industry for wideband accuracy. PERIOD. I use an ECM LambdaPRO and recommend the AFM1000 to most professional aftermarket tuners. The NGK AFX is based off the old AFM1600 design and is manufactured by ECM for NGK. I consider it one of the best "budget" widebands.

    Although I'm not familiar with the "g100" you mention...

    A couple of years ago, I did some testing for an A100 vs an AFM1000 unit, and they were very very close, The A100, while I have never found any information online, looks like the G100 type control box, without a gauge connected.

    The one I tested did have the NTK sensor, and not the bosch. I would reccomend the AFM1000 to any serious tuner.

    This is the unit i'm talking about


    looks like the AFX with NTK sensor is going to be the way to go, i didn't know it was based on a ECM unit.

    NTK is not available with the AFX currently. NGK states it will be at least 7-8 months. Check out the bottom few posts of the following thread:
