I have a link monsoon that I’m getting set up, do I need to get a ( CAN lambda ) sensor to be able to tune it or can I wire a wideband o2 without getting it? And is there a way to connect it with a gauge to monitor when regularly driving

There's another post I replied to RE: integrating an LM2 into a Link of whatever flavor you have. It looks likes he's since decided to run a CAN based controller:

You cant wire a wideband sensor directly to a Monsoon, you will need a wideband controller. The controller can connect to the ECU via analog input or CAN bus. CAN bus is preferred however as the majority of consumer level wideband controllers with analog outputs have poor accuracy and/or low update rate via the analog signal.

If you want one with a gauge then the AEM X-series is quite common. They have both analog and CAN outputs so suggest using CAN (they call it "AEMNet"). The x-series usually work well although I have seen a few users recently having issues with the FAE sensor, I dont know how widespread hat issue is. AEM have been replacing them with a Bosch sensor - at least for USA customers anyway. Choose one with the Bosch sensor if you have the option.

There are not many others I can think of with a gauge built in that have CAN communication. Ecotrons ALM (no experience) and Ballenger AFR500CAN (not a fan).
