hey mate forget about wiring the afr gauge they dont work unless you get the autometer wideband gauge with the sensor,cost about 450 dollars. if you still wanna hook your gauge up use the black wire for the sensor it will not giue u the right readings that you would expect but that is the wire you use for the ba xr6 turbo

the one you hav showed in the picture looks like the narrow band one, there pretty much only good for the jap cars. to be honest mate that gauge is not gonna do nothing on the xr6 turbo cars, trust me I went through this drama.your best bet would be to look up aplace which sells the wideband gauges etc (mod yourcar.com)the gauge will come with a sensor were u would hav to place on your dump pipe this mod will set you back around the 600 dollar mark, the wide band gauge will giue you the right readings jus like the tuners use.

you will see that on your dump pipe behind the turbo that there are 4 or 5 wires I cant really remember how much there is but what you hav to do is cut or moue the sleave that couers the wires with a razor blade or knife jus cut through the solid blac wire an solder your sencor wire to that.
