wideband in place of O2 DP sensor

I installed my wideband today and put it in the downpipe, unplugging the existing o2 sensor that was in there.
After doing some searching, many have said that they installed it in their testpipe, removing the rear o2 sensor instead.
Will I have any problems with the o2 sensor in the downpipe removed, compared to the o2 sensor in the downpipe?

Should I just move the wideband to the rear o2 sensor (testpipe), and unplug that?

I should of searched before I installed everything....

Thanks for the help

nope, just one.
I know my options are to have a bung welded in, or remove one of the stock o2 sensors.
I do plan on getting a tune in the near future if that makes a difference.

After looking around a little, looks like I need this o2 sensor plugged in, and the rear o2 sensor in the testpipe can be unplugged.

You will need both O2 sensors in the car. Just take it to a muffler shop and have them weld another bung in for you, unless you are able to do it yourself. The guy that welded one in for me charged me like 25 bucks for drilling, and welding the bung in place.

I was thinking the rear can be unplugged and disabled using ecuflash.
