Get a wideband unless that one is just for show.

ok well it looks to me that 4 of the wires are power wires so it lights up and the other wire is the signal wire.

hook the 2 black wires to a good ground the red and white wires to a 12v source and the green is your signal. im sry but i dont know what wire is the signal wire off the ecu. ill try to find it in my factory manual.

That sounds dumb, don't just start hooking wires up if you don't know which are which.

They arent. They went bankrupt, and sold out their inventory. I think they may have changed their name and are now slinging their crap again.

You should honestly heed this advice, as it is the truth. Narrow band gauges are ghey and useless, and an APC version supremely so.

I would say sell it to someone dumber than yourself, though you bought it, so that may be difficult to achieve.

Yes, they do make those. Tells you bottle pressure, so you know if you've "got any juice left in those boosters," to quote Chris Farley.
