That makes a big difference.
Since I have no clue, which is better?

Turbo Monte is tuned in open loop. It takes way more time tuning open loop but the end result I feel is better. Just my opinion.

More less open loop tune means you tune the pcm to do what you want and it doesn't use o2 sensors to make adjustments you make the adjustments.

Closed loop the sensors will tell the pcm to adjust the pcm tables if it feels it is needed.

Last question for at least awhile, is it still a weld in or just a standard screw in?
How do you run the wire inside?

The wideband sensor will screw into the existing o2 bung if you tune open loop. If you tune closed loop you will need to drill a hole in the down pipe and weld the o2 bung over the hole you drilled and then the wide band you screw right into the new bung. Use anti cease on the threads so if you need to take it out it will be a little easier to do.

On a wide band the gauge goes in the car and you run the wires from the gauge to the wide band o2 sensor. On the wide band o2 sensor there is wires coming out of it as well. There is connectors on both ends. Connect them. You will also need to get a power source so the gauge lights up (ignition wire) and ground the gauge.
