Re:Can I just get a WB Controller?
Well honestly I paid him a $100 for the sensor. It was a heat of the moment kind of thing. We messed it up on my brothers downpipe bung which the threads were messed up somehow before.
I asked him if I could just buy it from him since it was still usable(only messed up a few threads) and he asked for 100 bucks, so I just gave it to him because I had it at the time and thought it was a fair deal.
I see that they are cheap on this site. But say I went to an Autozone or something and ordered it from there, are they still that cheap? I mean if neither one of us knew they could be had for that cheap, then I won't feel so bad
. But oh well you live and learn. Now I know where to get them from!

I'd call him up and tell him to go ---- himself and ask for money back. Im pretty sure these cant be had at any local autozone.
You can get them from a VW dealer for like $60 so this 'tuner' should at least know that.
Who is this punk bitch so people from here know to stay away?

Re:Can I just get a WB Controller?
Haha!!! Sounds like you guys are getting worked up more than me over this. Well I'd rather not say who, because I know he is a great TUNER and will probably use him again. Let's just say he is known as one of the top tuners in Texas and probably in the world for hondas and other sport compacts(one of the most famous also).
I guess just because he is one of the best tuners doesn't mean he won't rip ya off on something like this. But I know not to buy ANYTHING but his tuning time now. Can't put a price on talent ya know.
Well thanks for letting me know about this stuff xenocron, it's people like you that keep this hobby cheap by letting others know. I really appreciate it.
Thanks again,
Kurt

Re:Can I just get a WB Controller?
Are these the exact same Bosch sensor as the LSU4? Also do they come with a connector or do you have to splice them in?
Just trying to justify the price because this tuner really seemed like a good guy, maybe my sensor is a little different? Does bosch make different grades of WB sensors?

Re:Can I just get a WB Controller?
it comes with the standard VW connector right on it...these are not a universal type O2.
most if not all of the more affordable WB manufactures use the stock VW connector to make sensors easily replaceable
