Want to install my wideband.

On the drivers side, under the dash, by the steering column, there is a rubber grommet with an insert that pops out pretty easily. I ran mine through there.

Cost me $35, but my DP was already out while doing a custom exaust setup.

No, its pretty simple. If you look under the steering wheel, behind the clutch pedal, you will see a little black rubber grommet. Use a flathead screwdriver to pry it out, and you will have a decent size hole to get in to the engine bay. I just slit the grommet to slide the wires in and replaced it when it was done.

No, its for your stock o2 sensor. If it had 2 bungs, then one would be for your stock o2 sensor, and one for a wideband or so.

If you want to eventually get a wideband you can have an extra bung welded in at an exhaust shop

I red-neck wired mine, just used some splice connectors and tied into the boost guage's power hehe. On a side note, my boost gage backlight tends to flicker a little now. But it was easy! The grommet everyone is talking about works great, I havn't bothered to put the grommet back into the hole yet though, havn't noticed any problems with just an open hole there either. I tried to have a bung welded into my stock DP but the shop I went to said they won't touch a pipe that has a cat in it, EPA will own their asses if they do I guess. Good excuse to get a Cat-less DP .
