i've also been interested in looking at Air fuel ratio gauges for my new setup, i was thinkin a gauge for each bank. 2 gauges in the center vents, 1 for each wideband.

I was just about to mention that. Chances are, if you aren't sure how to hook it up, then you didn't know that you will want to get a wideband sensor. It's pricey, but the gauge isnt really worth it without the wideband sensor.
Then again, I don't see a need for the gauge unless there are some major engine mods.

no one has bothered to mention that a narrow band o2 gauge is worth absolutly nothing and will not give you any information other then the o2s are working or not. you cant use it for tuning or checking to make sure the car is running correctly because th guage is constantly jumping around. its a glorified light show

My main guage is the DPSS that I bought. I'm in love with the shift light, just watch the road and wait for it to light, then SHIFT!
No more short shifts due to guessing engine RPMs.

Nah, I know about Wideband, narrow band. I'm not looking at this gauge to go with tuning capabilities. I'm using it for, A.) To make sure that my car actually goes into closed loop and uses the sensors (previous owner had a 160* Thermo in..... [:@]) and to have that light show.
