Make sure you follow these directions to the "T".... Remove gauge from box. Place gauge under drivers wheel. Get in car and drive over gauge. Installation is complete! In all seriousness, throw the thing away. If you have the mods to need an air/fuel gauge do it right and buy a wideband. The gauge you have is nothing more than a light show. If you really want to hook it up there are diagrams all over this place.... Red = Switched 12v source Black= Ground Purple= signal wire on o2(B1S1)

Well you've slowed that process down by wasting money on an expensive flashing LED.

I use both personally. I have a wideband data logger and a regular narrowband in my a pillar gauge pod. I don't use the narrowband for tuning but more as an early indication something is screwed up ie: my secondary injectors aren't firing under boost. I don't think a narrowband is useless just so long as you know its limitations and aren't using it to actually dial in an a/f ratio.

You came on JBO asking a question, you got the truth.

How about to compromise, save yourself the hassle and just dummy mount the gauge in your pillar so its not an empty hole. Then worry about hookup of a wideband when you get one.
