It is supposed to be the pink wire. Speed Inc has an adapter harness so you don't have to cut any wires. Just got mine.

Whats the point of using an A/F gauge with the stock O2 sensors? They arent capable of reading A/F outside of stoich. I guess the gauge looks pretty with all of the lights.

The stock O2's are narrowband, they aren't going to give you any useful information really, unless it's too late...

If you're going to do an A/F gauge, consider a wideband that used a wideband O2 sensor that you would install using a new, weld-in bung.

You mean that you cannot use the bung (hole ) that comes with the jet hot long tubes?

Those are for the stock O2s that the PCM still needs, regardless of if you have a wideband or not.

Does anyone know if relocating the stock o2 bung will throw anything off? I need more clearance for my cutouts
