    You're wasting your time and $$ if it's not a wideband....it'll just be a light show.
    Sell it and buy a more useful gauge.

    What gauge is it?

    Some of the gauges can be used in with a real wideband controller like the innovate mentioned above.

    ^^ they don't mount them, they bring them to my house and give them to me. ;)

    Liquidforce is correct, depending on which gauge you have, you may be able to keep it and hook it up
    to the wideband controller.

    yeah, I picked up an LM-1 and an XD-16 gauge, and the combo works great. You should be fine with just the LC-1 and the XD-16, but I was able to get a hell of a deal on the LM-1.

    Also, note that if you tap into the stock o2 Sensor for an A/F Gauge, you will most likely cause an 0240(?) CEL. I have a Narrow Band A/F (Dancing Light), but had an o2 Bung welded into my Uppipe to have an additional sensor installed so as not to throw the CEL. I tapped the stock o2 in my 02 WRX and had the CEL issue, so decided to do the wrong gauge correctly this time around.
