Default How to wire innovate LC2 controler

Hi guys,
I am going to install next week this essential tool for any performance, and I have a doubt about wich of the 2 analog output must I use.
note that I will run by the moment with the stock ecu.
this controler has 2 wires:
yellow: 0v=7.35 afr; 5v=22.35 afr
brown: 1.1V= 14 afr; 0.1v=15 afr
I have to cut the stock wire that links ecu with stock sensor located in the engine bay and solder to a 1,5m extra wire, pass it through the firewall and solder to one of the both analog outputs.
the other one goes to the gauge.
brown for ecu or gauge?
yellow for ecu or gauge?
and when I install my ms2? She has a yellow wire for the wideband.
thanks in advance and best ridings.

0-5V signal is a wideband signal that is only of use to an aftermarket ECU
0.1-1.1V signal is a narrow band signal, and is the one you would wire to your stock O2 sensor wire, so the brown wire
In my opinion, it's much easier to just have an exhaust shop (if you can't weld) add an O2 sensor bung and run redundant sensors, that way you don't run into any issues of the LC2 narrowband output being any different from stock

Thank you for the info, I will check that thread!
but when i set up the ms, how she will be able to work with both? Because you have to select if you are running wide or narrow band for many settings.
could have problems if I cut and solder as the red NA owner in youtube how install innovate mtx???

Ok more problems than benefits.
I will go for welding the bung that comes in the kit...
So one question with the header and exhaust sistem.
Mine is vvt 01
I bought by error an ebay japspeed header and downpipe, so if I install it and request a middle section of NB1 I will run without catalityc converter.
Will this configuration be positive for my supercharging+ ic proyect?
Or is better to continue with the stock exhaust sistem? Weld the bung to stock header and finish the story?
Thanks in advance!! Best thing of this forum is learning before breaking.
Really grateful!!!

You must use Wideband for tuning. I don't know anything else about funky headers, or even what year car you have.

As long as you have a properly welded bung in or soon after the collector and there are no leaks, stock vs aftermarket is irrelevant.
