Default AFR gauge ?

I know this is probably a dumb or easy question,but here goes anyway.What all does it take to install a AFR gauge,I'm getting ready to install new Kooks headers and thought now would be the time to install a AFR gauge,is it more that just ordering the gauge that comes with the sensor,I see they are around 200 bucks,do I need more than just that,do I have to have something that it goes through to give the readings.Can someone just give me a list of what all is needed.the other thing is,where should I have the fitting installed in the headers,I know some say you want it close to piston #7 is that true? thanks for any info.

Cool -- Best location is Pre cat of course and above the 9 and 3 o'clock positions if possible-- Having the bung below that will cause the sensor to accumulate water or moisture and will foul it eventually and shorten it's life -- also may give incorrect readings--

I've had an AEM UEGO wideband in my car for almost 3 years now and it has been flawless. I've checked it against the tailpipe sniffers on 4 different dynojet dyno's and it's right on the money. Install is very easy, but be sure to locate the sensor after the x-pipe and you'll get very accurate readings.
