Thanks for sharing. This almost gets down to my goal of $100 per channel (w/o sensor). It would be ideal to have a channel for each cylinder.

I've been using a Tech Edge wbo2 for many years, and it works great.
I've connected it to the EFI for logging, as well as a display on the dash.

I'm using a cheap Bosch sensor for a VW.

I am guessing the author works at Bosch or one of the car companies. In reality, I tend to dream up many more projects than I actually get to, so I will probably just buy a data logger for the tuning.

Occasionally you find a seasoned expert who had a few closed loop tricks, like reading plugs and knowing what changing emulsion tubes will feel like in the seat of the pants, but I expect many carb issues could be solved by putting on a 02 sensor and going closed loop.
