The gauges arent worth much past a pretty light show anyways.

Yup, he is correct. They arent accurate at all, and could be dangerous when it comes to tunning.

the gauges are fine.

but hooking up a gauge to a relguar o2 sensor is pretty worthless. hook it up to a wideband, and you're money.

thanks for all the help on those who posted. the thing is i hook it up to the o2 sensor... (white wire)... the light goes crazy.... it swings in the orange range and one green line is also lit. this is when its at idle.... is this how its supposed to be ? thanks for the help.....

It will swing from lean to rich out of wide open throttle. put the gas pedal to the floor and it should stabilize in the green somewhere. White is correct on most others.
