you need the whole kit--sensor, controller, and you should get a gauge too

lc1 is also on ebay for like $160, link should have a o2 input I would think. You dont really need a gauge if you can datalog.

Be careful on ebay, Innovate reported recently that a **** ton of fakes have shown up on ebay, they may or may not work.. saving $20-40 bucks might cost you an engine.

Can the DB gauge be purchased seperately?

And it may be a real innovate, that doesn't mean that the next auction will be.

Even if you can datalog, having a wideband gauge that you can glance at periodically helps a ton.

Not sure if you know this, but the Mk1 Link needs to be modified to process a wideband input (same with the Link IAT and knock sensors).

I just got my LC-1 in the mail today! I'm thinking of hooking it up to my Autotune and my Autometer NB gauge. Either way I'm happy!

Newer link probably. Mine is like that as well.

Actually, I got mine used, and ran the car with a 4 wire O2 for about a year. I got a wideband and opened up the link to cut the trace for running the WBO2 into it, and found it was already cut! Apparantly the Link will still work fine with a narrow band with that trace cut.....
