Question for guys on Boost

I wanted to know if it was necessary to have the second O2 sensor because my downpipe only has 2 holes n wanted to use one for the wide band also my second O2 sensor had been off for a while n i have had my check engine light on forever code P0421 i checked it rite before i started my turbo install n still just that code comes up just want to make sure taking second O2 sensor and putting wideband in instead wont mess anything up like running rich or anything thanks

Also if anyone can tell me what this is it could help as well



thanks for the help

The ONLY thing the second 02 is for is to confirm the cat is operating within normal parameters it has nothing to do with engine operation
