Default Installing wideband NA

Well I bought all my gauges and accessories for turbo early, so that once i get it all i have to do is install tune and go. I was wondering is there anyway I can put my wideband gauge to use right now considering its for A/F, acceleration, and other multiple tasks? If so will I have any effects considering you can tune with it? just curious thanks.

If its all a hassle with no plus' ill just keep boxed up til turbo gets here

If the turbo you are going with utilizes the same test pipes/cats as your current setup, you can install the O2 sensor there and hook up your turbo system later with no problems

WB is for A/F only, have no idea what you mean "its for acceleration". If you want to run the wires and weld a bung in go for it, but unless you have a tuning tool like an Emanage or piggyback you are familiar with you wont be able to tune, so it would only monitor what you have now. Not worth it imo, if I were you Id just wait till you go FI.

well by acceleration i mean the innovated wideband from forged internals, which has mult uses on it besides just A/F. im sure youve seen or might be familiar with it. Anywho like i was saying if its a PITA to not really accomplish anything for certain then ill shy away from installing for now. But i just got my test pipes in today and was going to install them in about an hour so i was getting ideas whether or not it would be a good time to do the wideband as well

I have the Innovate WB man-Im confused as to what you think it has to do with acceleration? WB's only take reading WOT....and unless you buy an LM-1 or have a piggyback you wont be able to datalog with it yet.
