Default Wide band help

I bought a air fuel ratio (52mm Depo Racing Super White/Amber Digital Air Fuel Ratio Gauge) and it did not come with an O2 sensor and the instructions make it seem like it can wire into the ECU. My question is can I wire this gauge into a wide band O2 sensor to this and where can I get an o2 sensor and connector

..... Send that one back and get a true Wide Band set-up like AEM or Innovate or FAST ... there are probably dozens more ... if it didn't come with a WB sensor , its probably just a narrow band flashy gauge to look cool on your dash ...........

I can't just plug in a wide band O2 sensor into it?

The instructions should say which type of wide band o2 to get so they will work the best together.

You can wire it into the computer but the computer has no need of it. It will only be for the purpose of data logging the wb a/f and no help to the computer.

The instructions are very brief and just say to wire it into the cars computer. ... it's really weird because the gauge has the lean, stoight, rich as well as a digital read out for the ratio. This is what mislead me to believe it was a wide band gauge
