I had one on my car(but I took it off) it hooks top the o2 sensor. I had a the wire from the gauge going to a toggle switch, 2 wires comming off the switch giong to either o2 sensors, that way I could check both banks just by flipping the switch. It has been a wile since I had it so I cant remember which wire to hook it to. Do you not have instructions?

its going to be just for looks even after you have a sc. a narrow band gauge does only one thing, tells you that the o2s are working. THATS IT. you will never get any reading off it that tells you how the motor is running. a narrow band o2 jumps around in voltage constantly which means the reading on the gauge will always be jumping around. if you want an air/fuel gauge that is worth a damn, plan to spend $300+ for a wideband.

I sell widebands for $289.

That is why I took mine off, it looked cool but it was pretty worthless. I even put a stock 19lb mass air on my car to see if it read rich cond., but no difference. One of my friends had a mass air for 30lb inj. no difference.
