You're looking for the front 02 sensor wire; I think it's white, and I found it in the forum along with instructions on how to remove the ECU. It just takes a good diagram and careful counting of the wires.

they are coming off of the ECU, under the glove box, if you look at the link, you can see the front 02 sensor listed and then splice into this.

You should return the guage and get an AEM or other based off a wideband system. All the narowband system does is make a neat light show in the guage. It is only accurate at idle. Sorry. Narrowband will only show rich/lean. That sucks and is not useful at all if you actually want to know your AF ratio at any given RPM/time.

Will the gauge be any acurate?
Can you trust it?
Should I get one?

When Installing a the new O2 sensor, you have to bring your downpipe to a exhaust shop to get a custom hole put in it

no

if you really want a narrowband a/f gauge...just get the apexi TT...you get a TT and the gauge that you can impress all your friends with...otherwise get a wideband if you REALLY want to know your a/f ratio

I highly agree with this, all the gauge will do is give you a light show. It is NOT accurate for tuning. Return it and get a wideband o2 gauge.
