-====== Recommended Innovate MTX-L Installation ====== 
  
-Installation of the [[http://​www.ecmtuning.com/​product_info.php?​cPath=28_29&​products_id=61|Innovate MTX-L wideband gauge kit]] is pretty straight forward. ​ The [[http://​www.ecmtuning.com/​images/​forums/​lc1install/​MTX-L_Manual_1.1.pdf|MTX-L Installation manual]] covers most of the basics for a general install. ​ We do, however, have a few specific suggestions below. 
- 
- 
- 
- 
-===== ECU wires ===== 
-The following is provided for reference in the sections that follow. ​ You can also get detailed pin out information,​ including ECU wire colors, off our [[ecuwiringinformation|ECU wiring page]].

-==== RED wire - notes ==== 
-The red wire typically goes to a switched +12v source. ​ The ECU pins listed above are good choices if you're wiring near the ECU.  This wire would also typically be fused with at least a 3A fuse. 
- 
-==== BLACK wire - notes ==== 
-A good, solid high-current grounding point here.  The ECU pins listed above are good choices or you can try a good, clean chassis ground point too. 
- 
- 
- 
-==== YELLOW and BROWN wire - notes ==== 
-The YELLOW wire is defined by default to have a mapping of 0V = 7.35 AFR (0.5 lambda) and 5V = 22.39 AFR (1.52 lambda). ​ This will work nicely using ECMLink'​s LC-1 datalogging item.  So run the YELLOW wire into your selected ECU input for logging and then configure ECMLink to use this input for the LC-1 log item (ECU Inputs tab) and, optionally, for the narrowband simulation function as well. 
- 
-The BROWN wire from the MTX-L is defined by default as the "​narrowband"​ simulation output. ​ Because you're using ECMLink, you can leave this wire disconnected (but isolated from ground with some heatshrink or electrical tape) and simply use ECMLink'​s [[v3narrowbandsim|narrowband simulation]] function instead. 
- 
- 
-===== Sensor location ===== 
-We generally recommend installing the MTX-L'​s wideband sensor in the front O2 location directly off the turbo. ​ That is, of course, if you plan to run without a narrowband sensor installed in that location. ​ We have been running our sensor in that location for years without issue. ​ We do not believe there are any "​heat"​ concerns what so ever. 
- 
-===== Narrowband sensor ===== 
-When running an MTX-L wideband, you can simply enable [[v3narrowbandsim|narrowband simulation]] in ECMLink and use nothing but the MTX-L'​s analog output for both wideband data and narrowband closed-loop operation. 
- 
-However, if you have the option of running both a wideband sensor and a narrowband sensor, considering doing so.  This is probably more common on a 2G where you can run the narrowband sensor to the factory Front O2 pin while logging the wideband sensor on the factory Rear O2 pin, but there are enough inputs on a 1G to do the same thing. 
- 
-The advantage to running a factory narrowband is that you get a good data point for checking up on the LC-1's calibration. ​ The narrowband sensor is **going** to switch around stoichiometric. ​ It's really good at that.  So as long as you're running in closed loop operation using the factory narrowband sensor, you should see an MTX-L logged value of about stoich as well. 
- 
-It's not a big deal either way, though. ​ So don't go out of your way to make it happen. ​ If it's convenient, great, give it a shot.  If it's not, don't worry about it.
