my evo has no cat and has upgraded turbo....my engine is running lean after a tune with too much air to fuel ratio....could that be because of the o2 sensor or is that a serious problem

what are you basing your "my engine is running lean" comment off of?

who tuned the car?

when you say o2 sensor are you referring to a wideband or a stock o2 sensor?

+1 as stated we need more info man

Is it running lean during cruise or WOT. Are you judging that by looking at your wideband gauge?

During cruise the car runs in closed loop meaning it uses the cars front O2 to determine A/F

During WOT the car is in open loop and will look to target your Fuel maps set values
