Lol..

You should get a wideband mr.turbo

That way you are accurate and wont blow your motor. If you are doing narrowband then it don't matter what O2 you hook up to.

Go buy a Bosch wideband 02 off ebay and tap that into your secondary just before the flex pipe and use that instead.

do a search on google or check the instructions for your gauge.. shouldnt be to hard. the wideband is basically wired the same as the narrow band

You will need a Wideband o2 Sensor and Wideband Gauge, AEM is a good brand to look up. You should do more research rather than posting every single question you can think of on random parts of the board. 02 Senor needs to be installed in the downpipe, which means youll need to get a bung welded in.

What brand of gauge are you using?

A narrow band O2 sensor is practically useless for tuning purposes, it's too inaccurate. You'll need a new sensor and gauge for wideband.

To answer your real question :lol: Attach the green from your gauge to the blue wire on the O2 sensor closest to the front bumper. (Just because it is easer to get to then the back one).

I would save your money for a AEM wind band. I have one and I love it! (It comes complete with everything including a Bosch 02 sensor). It was very easy to hook-up. You need to have an exhaust shop weld a bung (included) into your exhaust.
(cost me only $20.00 to have a bung welded in). The narrow band gauge you have is fun to look at, but won't tell you too much. The wide band will give you air /fuel ratio data that you can use to tune your combination to work its best. Check out Innovate as well. My needs were very basic (Carburetor tuning!) and the AEM was one of the more simpler gauges. (I am an old man and have a fear of technology). :D I did not need a built in cappuccino maker or extensive data-logging capabilities.
