I could use some help also with pics if someone could.Also I noticed on white plug coming off of gauge 1 of the 2 wires is not connected, is this normal.
Also I would like to see if someone runs wide & narrow thru same bung as I really do not want to spend half a day at muffler shop getting bung welded in.

My install went easy if you have any questions? But I did get an bung welded in just for WB. As for the head phone looking wire it plugs in to the red box. TX port. The little white box connector that you have to crimp and push a connnector in goes diagonally to the one all ready installed. On the little round power plug in that you have to put together red wire + goes in the middle and black - goes to the outside one.

Only other thing I did was the power end. Drilled I think a 1/2 hole in trans hump after pulled carpet back some. Ran the cable from the WB sensor to the little red box. But I had the muffler shop weld a bung in just for the WB sensor. I think they charged $10 for bung and $10 to weld. $20 for a little piece of mind.

cool cool, those pics are great. Any idea how to run a wire to hptuners or the egr connection? Does it go in one of those empty slots on that white connector?
