If you are running an aftermarket piggyback / N2O / VAFC, you want to ensure that those modifications do not cause your engine to run too rich or too lean, both of which can cause negative performance and engine damage.
That is the use of an aftermarket O2 Wideband Setup.

Just a though on how to hook up the wideband: I am going with the draxas exhaust with hi flow cat with A/M header. I would probably hookup the wideband to the s-pipe, get and extension for the 2nd o2 harness, then weld a bung after the high flow cat. That way I can run the wideband and at the same time eliminate the cel problem the right way.

Well I got my gauge pod from CC today 
now I just need the rest of the gauges to come in... I am thinking of getting a E manage and dezods prewired harness.
I was going to use a SACF 2 but I think the E manage would be a better deal.

AEM setup is nice, so is the PLX. Though all they tend to be is gauges, can't do much beyond...
However the best I've found for s standalone gauge app like our tC's (unless youre racing and want any sort of integration) is the Innovate LC-1 controller. They sell controller/Bosch-sensor for $199.00. It has two programmable outputs (almost any voltage, range to simulate narrowband for an ECU or setup your narrowband A/F gauge to display wideband with any sweep you want.

Best thing ab Innovate products is they are all modular and scalable. If you ever want to use data logging you can download their free Logworks software which is awesome for a shareware. One day if you want to get serious: an LM1 for multi-sensor log, You can string multiple LC1's together with their integrated serial outputs, use an rpm module or auxbox, pressure sensors and do some real tuning. The LM1 acts as the data logger or it can interface directly with Logworks on a laptop. You can do realtime playback, view any data you want versus any other in real time, view virtual gauges, etc.
Of course I don't see any of you doing that on a tC, however if you get serious with car tuning, I've always loved the modular/integrated uses of Innovate's products, that and the fact that you can reflash the software with updates in ab 15 seconds.
For my tC I use my LC-1 with an autometer A/F with a custom sweep programmed. I tune on the street using a LM1, the LC1, an rpm module and Logworks. Take on the fly real time A/F:RPM graphs and compare RPM slopes to get the best power gains.
