Actually I would like to know more about what a wideband O2 sensor actually does. And is it really only an effective tool for WOT tuning?

What about some tools I have seen that are basically sensors that you can attach at a tail pipe to get a reading? I assume the wideband O2 sensor replaces your regular O2 sensor, so is this an easy swap or what else needs to be done to accommodate it? Some guy I talked to a while back when I was getting my headers said he was getting some "bungs" (?) welded on, so I assume you can't just swap out your regular O2 sensor for a wideband.

So clue me in, please. This is one of those basic concepts that I just haven't been able to find much on.

Thanks.
