    Get a wideband, a narrow band A/F won't do you any good with a turbocharged car.

    narrow band is only designed to monitor a very small (narrow) air fuel range something like 13-15 AFR. a wideband will read a much larger range something like 8-20 AFR. since IIRC you want to be around 11-11.5 AFR while under boost a narrow band wont help you much.
