oh ya, should i buy a wideband? Really dont know whats it does...is it for turbos only or can i use it on my N.A. I have a A.F. gauge right now but its a narrowband. Whats the point of it?

honestly, the reason people get upset when you ask dumbass questions like this is because its obvious you haven't even looked into it. we aren't here to spoon feed you, all of us got to where we are by figuring **** out, and along the way asking questions here. do some real research on things, and if you're still confused, THEN ask a question

Wideband zirconia sensor
A variation on the zirconia sensor, called the 'wideband' sensor, was introduced by Robert Bosch in 1994 but is (as of 2006) used in only a few vehicles. It is based on a planar zirconia element, but also incorporates an electrochemical gas pump. An electronic circuit containing a feedback loop controls the gas pump current to keep the output of the electrochemical cell constant, so that the pump current directly indicates the oxygen content of the exhaust gas. This sensor eliminates the lean-rich cycling inherent in narrow-band sensors, allowing the control unit to adjust the fuel delivery and ignition timing of the engine much more rapidly. In the automotive industry this sensor is also called a UEGO (for Universal Exhaust Gas Oxygen) sensor. UEGO sensors are also commonly used in aftermarket dyno tuning and high-performance driver air-fuel display equipment. The wideband zirconia sensor is used in stratified fuel injection systems, and can now also be used in diesel engines to satisfy the forthcoming EURO and ULEV emission limits.

Dude, you seriously need to do some learnin', and I'm not saying this to be a *****. PLEASE install that MS before you turbocharge the car, and learn your way around it. Without the basic knowledge you need, you WILL blow up your engine. NA is much more forgiving than FI.
