It needs to be a wideband, I have an Innovate LC1 but the AEM are quite popular as well.
You want the sensor as far away from the turbo as possible as rotarys get hot.
I went through a few sensors until I fitted it at the rear of the decat and it\'s been alright ever since.

If you have an air pump still attached don\'t be alarmed if it goes off the scale \'lean\' on idle, it just the sensor picking up the air being injected into the exhaust lol mine is spot on at 14.7:1 on cruise :)
