wideband?

[roadboy]

hey, ok this may come off stupid but i was just thinking about it.
i have an extra port on my turbo elbow for a 02 sensor for a wideband. if i get any gauge liek a cheap a/f gauge, can i just hook it up to a o2 sensor that has one wire?

P.S i did have a aem wideband but it stopped working on me.
any suggestions?

If you want the wideband to last you should put it farther down away from the turbo.

No, you need a wideband o2 sensor for the readings to actually be useful. The stock o2 sensor is only useful for the ECU to tell whether it is above or below the target 14.7 AFR.

Ya a/f gauge is a waste of money except maybe when your cruising.

Its possible you just burnt up your wb sensor with it being close to the turbo.

i still have the wideband sensor but the gauge itself isnt working,
so my aem gauge isnt working because the capacitator blew inside the gauge

Send me your gauge and I'll fix it. Given it hasn't suffered a catastrophic failure...

I don't expect payment, just cover the cost of shipping.
