O2 sensors

[s1utster138]

do we have narrow band or wide band O2 sensors in the TC?
my car is a 2005

We have both my friend. Bank1Sensor1 is your OEM wideband located in the header. Bank1Sensor2 is located in the s-pipe.

thanks Navy !
i was looking into getting one of this gauge for my ride. it reads boost and A/F but it states "The air/fuel gauge connects to any narrow band oxygen sensor." what do you think of this gauge?

from what you said i can pretty much hook it up to the O2 sensor onthe S pipe and it should work correct?

Not so fast. You could tap into the OEM narrowband, but why? Do you really need to read this info, ie are boosted? Looking at this, I would say save your money and run a more reliable gauge. Better yet, get an aftermarket s-pipe (if you already have not done so) and have a new O2 sensor bung welded at the head of the pipe. No you can get a much better wideband gauge. If you have a piggyback system, then you can get a wideband controller like AEM UEGO or PLX Device SMR (I have this one). The PLX can replace your OEM narrowband and still provide those inputs to your ECM.

Check this unit out from GTech. It does just about everything with add-on modules.

i hear what you are saying but then im just too lazy to do all that. i dont have a AM S pipe and dont plan on getting one anytime soon. just wanted to see if im how much boost im putting out on the S/C with the 9.5lbs pulley. i figured that i can kill 2 birds with one stone with this gauge. im located in NY and when ppl see alot of stuff in your ride they get stick handed. i dont need all the extra attention around here.
