Default WIDE-B AFR.. where to tap o2 sensor

hello,

Im going to save a bit on my NOS and UTEC install costs by doing some peripherals wiring myself.
Doing the push button start, relocating my cruise control since i run a MOMO wheel... and installing my nitrous pressure and wideband AFR in the ATI steering wheel column gauge pod i bought.. all at once since ill have the same panels off the car.

(That should be a nice solid week driving to work w no gauges or column on my car ha. )

anyways.. aside from going out to the sensors itself which would seem pointless and counterproductuive fo a car w an ECU inside the car....

... does anyone know where i can tap into the wire to get the PROPER and optimal o2 signal to that gauge? I say proper becuase I read there are several sensors and I am looking for expertise on which signal to use as well as the location and color of the wire.

My car has 5 o2 sensors /shrug

If you tap into any of the other 4, it'll only give you a reading down one pipe. Unless I'm missing something.

well... still at a loss here then.

need to know where to plug in by this weekend hopefully.

For nitrous use only.. i have a UTEC for the overall tuning.... I only need the AFR for warning purposes etc.

Why not get a separate O2 sensor and tap into the cat (or its replacement)? I guess if you have a 04.5 or newer, you can just tap the driver's side O2 sensor. I believe 04.5 and newer have wideband O2 sensors all around and you want to use the driver's side bank because that's the side that tends to be little more lean.

As for what color wire, you'd have to look that up on the FSM to figure it out. I'm not digging through it.
