The blue and white wires are the 0-5v output and ground for hooking them up to a tuner.
Not sure why the afr is jumping around though, never had that problem with mine.

my recomendations:
1) put ur 02 sensor back in the factory bung and go get a bung welded in before the cat closer to the flex pipe, this will give you a lot better and more accurate readings, it should help your ratio from jumping
2)if option 1 doesnt work for the jumping ratio part then buy a new sensor lol
you still need to get a bung closer to the flex pipe!! its like 10-20 at ur local exhaust shop.....and you only need to instal the two wires the hook into the back of the gauge...being the power/ground wire and the sensor wire

yes, you need a bung welded in, at least a 10* higher and not in a straight line. taking out your rear o2 is not the way. The wideband gauge came with a little bung that needs to be welded in the dp, a shop near me I only paid $20, but make sure you get it before the cat, gutted or not.
the blue and white wires are for your tuner (you have no use for them)
afr is probably jumping around because you took the rear o2 out. 17 is extremely lean, when you get it all said and done your wideband should read 14.7-15.3 at idle, light throttle is around 13.8-14.8, and wide open throttle or wherever Zach06blowbalt put where you go into wide open throttle.

Its real easy... get a new o2 bung welded in put the wideband in there... and just run the wires... the hardest part is the power source... but its not that bad...

Nope, just a slight pain in the **** running the wire down,( I used a coat hanger) ADD A FUSE....easiest way for power.
