o2 housing question

okay so i have an o2 housing coming for me and my question is. if i install it, will it be okay for me to drive my car about 1 and 1/2 hours to get a tune? i dont want the car to be running horrible while im going to get a tune. do the o2 housings throw off your a/f a lot? right now my car already runs rich as crap

You'll get a little boost creep. Just don't drive like a maniac on the way to get your tune.

allows the exhaust to flow better and have less turbulance since they are ported. also they allow the wastegate gases to merge with the regular exhaust smoother, the smoother it all goes together, the faster it can exit.... so it will increase horsepower
