The stock one won't work with your wideband. You need a wideband sensor. You can probably find a cheap sensor online for $200 or so.

Ya if your gauge is a narrowband... But its useless. It's just a blinky light show if it's not a wideband. Waste of money.
THere's a how-to.

Don't mix up your wires. Seen a guy roast his gauge cause he did that.
Dude, seriously. If it's a wideband gauge, you need a wideband sensor tha outputs 0-5v. If it's a narrowband, you can use the stock sensor that outputs 0-1v. What brand is it anyway? It should have come with a sensor...

Okay, it's not a wideband, jsut an Air/Fuel gauge. It can jsut be spliced into the factory wiring, but because it's nto a wideband, sorry to say but with Mazda's sensors, you pretty much wasted your money. All it will do is blink back and forth, back and forth, back and forth... This has been discussed to no end here (do a search) but there's no info that can e gathered from a narrowband gauge on Mazda's O2 sensors.

No man, the stock sensor is onl outputting in the range of 0-1V, and a wideband goes 0-5v. The two are not compatible.
Look, jsut buy a proper wideband and get a bung welded in your exhaust, about 18" past the turbo is where it should be and mount the sender i nthere. Sell the gauge you have now cause it's worthless...
