i use an aem uego, its $200+, i went for cheapest but best i could find...

the wideband sensor comes with a threaded plug, you will have to drill a hole and weld on the plug on your downpipe around 2 feet down tjhe pipe from the turbo.. the wideband will screw right into there, then you run the wire from the o2 sensor into your car and into the wideband

EASY AS PIE...

Can't you just adapt the secondary o2 sensor to take the widebane?

flips using an AEM wideband i believe. Anyway, yea didder is a bum and apparently the high oil pressure was due to there being air pockets in the gauge line givin inaccurate readigns

Meaning you can use narrow band? And Wide would just be a heck of a lot better?

Update!

Turbo Kit is waiting for me to pick it up tonight. I have my one step colder plugs, and boost gauge ready. The wideband should be here tomorrow. If not, I'll go ahead with the install anyway. I'll snap some pics of the kit tonight.

Yeah, i'm planning on just picking up a crappy autozone one since i dont' have much time to order it online, and i'll need it right away to check whether or not I need to put a pressure restrictor in the oil line for the turbo.

Where do you have your oil pressure gauge measuring from?
