It's real simple. Just pull the old O2 sensor out, and install the wideband. Run your wires to your gauge and you're done.

The hardest part for me is how do i start? What do i do first if someone can make a video i would appreciate it alot, I think it might be simple but i just dont want to mess anything up. And also my boost gauge does not have light on it how can i get light threw it too while iam doing this?

Pretty straightforward, just did it myself in December. Only thing I had to pay a shop to do was weld the o2 bung in my exhaust, and that cost $20. You literally just run the wiring from the o2 wideband o2 sensor mounted according to AEM's instructions. Tap a power wire to the gauge and run the ground wire to a good ground source. The remaining wires are for datalogging and aren't used unless doing so. If you can't do that might wanna get a shop to do the install for you.

It's really easy. Power wire,ground. O2 sensor plug,gauge hook ups. It's straight forward.

Pull your downpipe. Take the downpipe to a shop and have them weld in the supplied bung from aem.(cheap) remember at the three oclock angle at the end of the downpipe for the best readings. On my MR there was a rubber groumet beside the down pipe but closer to the turbo. Once that is found pop it out. Then mount your WB where you want it. go to the passenger side of the car and and take off the black covering. And then you will have to run the smaller side of the WB through becasue the side coming from the sensor is to big to fit through the hole. Then go to the top of the car find a good power sourse. I used the lower left fuse box with add a circuit and then grounded it to a screw under the driver side dash.

This is what I did https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...t-gauge-2.html POST #20

If you do that you'll throw a code for rear o2 heater circuit but there's a patch to disable it in tephra 7

Here is at least so of it:

https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...-wideband.html

Also, the two wires coming off are for logging too. Read the instructions as they are helpful. use the blue wire to log with a serial cable. for my use the white one just gets taped up.

Good Luck

Don't take this the wrong way, but I think the reason there is no video is becase its fairly easy to install as stated before.

A video can't hurt, but I dont see one being made anytime soon.

If you need a video on how to hook up a power and a ground then you might want to either A: start researching on electrical systems, how they operate, etc. or B: choose a different hobby.

Your making this seem a lot harder than it is. What about this seems so difficult to you?
