save your money, really. a narrowband is useless for any real tuning purpose, all the gauge will really tell you is when the computer has entered closed loop. put the money towards a wideband O2 and ditch the narrowband gauge.

You can use the stock sensor. Make your connection right at the sensor or right at the ECU, because the wire is shielded in between.

You can't use it for tuning, it's not accurate under load. If you can't afford an hour on a dyno, you shouldn't be doing stuff to your car that requires tuning.
