Wideband o2 replacement

I was wondering if there was a way to replace our front o2 with the bosch wideband o2 that comes with the aem uego kit? Can I splice the harness side of the stock o2 (4wire) into the harness side of the bosch o2 (6wire)

No. The factory o2 sensors are narrow band and are not as accurate as a wideband such as the AEM. The ecu would have no way of reading it. Also you don't want the wideband sensor that close to the turbo unless you want to replace them a lot. They should be down stream about 18" or so from the turbo and mounted between 10-2 oclock.
