Narrowband vs. Wideband

I am looking to install a A/F ratio gauge in the ol TII, but I can't seem to find a wideband to run it off of for less than 300 bucks. Basically my question is How do you tell (visually) between a narrow band O2 sensor and a wideband? I want to run a wideband so I don't have to change it after I add more mods. I work at a parts store, but I can't find any information that helps me. Any help I can get from here is greatly appreciated, as I spent all day looking through catalogs and calling our O2 suppliers without any results. Thanks.

Edit: Also, if anyone has a Bosch wideband part number to share that would be great.

Muilty wired heated O2.. but the O2 is the cheapest part.. 50-100$.. what cost money is the controler.. around 200-300$ then the display 100-200$..

So full wideband kit with display usually sell for $500-800.

YOu can use the O2 sensor off a 06 civic or jetta.. get a BOSH one.. But most wideband kits come with a O2 already.

I am not looking for a kit, just a sensor, as I was told that running a A/F gauge off of a wideband gives a more trustworty reading.
