this might sound stupid but can i just get a wideband o2 sensor and wire it tup to the standard air/fuel guage from autometer. just seing if it wil work or not since i already have the guage mounted up

 

No
it won't work, Wide band O² sensor need an electronic circuit to control the sensor

 

alright thanks man guess im gettin aem wideband and boost guage

 

look at http://www.14point7.com/JAW/JAW.htm
this by far the best wideband setup i have ever used. I have used just about every brand and love this one. I have about 100$ in my wideband setup. I put my jaw together myself it was very easy. Not only will it read you afr's but it will data log 3 other sensors on your car. you can datalog with this and use crome free to tune your car very nicely.

 

thats a pretty nice item can you use the guage to display it or you have to use the display he provides

 

the one he supplies is very nice looking i mounted it in place of my oem clock looks great.But you should be able to use another gauge.I think it has to outputs for other gauges.

 

kk when i go to purchase a wideband ill will get that or maybe aem couse i get a deal on them
