The car is boosted on 22 lbs of boost keep that in mind

So i got a check engine light for my first bank o2 sensor I have a wide band o2 in right now (4 wires) I have the factory o2 already under warranty so I went and got that noticed they look different can I use a factory o2 (4wires) even tho its different looking ?
 
Your post is very difficult to understand the way it is written......

Generally, you need the correct type of sensor for the type of device you are using. The stock ECU is looking for a 0-1 volt signal (IE narrow-band). A wide-band sensor is more accurate as it operates on a 0-5 volt signal. You cannot mix the two unless your wide-band sensor setup has a narrow-band simulation feature (PLX for example) or your running something like ECMLink (narrow-band simulation feature).

Simply put, you cannot use a replacement wide-band (0-5v) sensor in place of the OEM sensor (0-1v) if you are trying to connect it to the OE harness.

If there was a narrow-band sensor there, then just replace it with another narrow-band sensor. As stated, your original post is rather unclear.
