Thanks so much buddy. I appreciate it. One last question tho. all i have to do is splice the 02 secsor wire and put one through the fire wall to the gauge and thats it? i dont understand because the widebands are 4 and 5 wires. The extra wires are for....? what. nothing?

no man , a wideband has multiple wires running into the guage.. like 7 actually.... what your talking about is not a wideband, but a narrowband afr guage... if it dosent read in #s
its not a wideband... widebands read out a number from 10.0-17.0 with 14.7 being stiometric,
or the perfect afr of 14.7-1 .... anything below 14.7 is rich, and anything above is lean.. on a turbo car to be safe.. the car should not get any leaner than a 13.6 at any point in the rpm range... to be safe most people keep em in the 12s afr... and once you are used to the numbering system you will be able to tell at a glance what your engine is doing...
the ecu will keep you in the safe afr with anything 16psi of boost or lower above that tuning can be achieved with a adjustable fuel pressure regulator...

its not that hard, just different... this is how you tune a car to make power, and you will need to learn it... or guess.. and guessing will blow stuff up...
just remember 14.7-1 .... 14.7 parts air to 1 part gasoline makes ideal burn conditions, and the most power ...
but ...on a turbo car its better to run more fuel than air or below 14.7 becuase your forcing air down its throat... and with a lean out pistons get burned and rods snap....
so its better to run somewhere between 12.5-1 and 13.6-1 (or 12.5 parts air to 1 part gas)

its always 1 part gas... an afr guage reads how much air is in the exhaust to 1 part gasoline.

for each molecule of gasoline being injected, you need between 12-13.6 molecules or air
