Unless you are running carbs there isn't much point. They require you to weld an independant lambda sensor into the exhaust manifold in most cases then it's just wiring it in - i'm not sure if you could use the OEM lambda sensor for one of them ones, but if you were to use the Alpha lambda gauge then you can't...

Again, you will have to plumb in a sensor if your car doesn't already have one, or the one fitted is not compatable with the gauge. But why?

not really but are wholey pointless as your car runs a narrow band lambda and you need a wide band lambda to really make use of one.

Stoi mix is 14:1. turbo cars run rich around 12.5:1 N/A engines run a bit more lean. high comp ratio engines etc run richer to prevent det.

On an electronically controlled fuel injection engine that has not been tuned it tells you nothing you need to know. It is a waste of space... On a tuned engine, and engines on carburettors then they are helpful - so just ignore it.
