Remove cats, leave the front 02's, have the back 02's tuned out, install a wideband 02 in your downpipe.

well actually hold on. im installing a rear mount so no downpipe, just a "Y" under the car back to the turbo as 1. should i put it in the single pipe?

If you have the front mount,before cats you could leave them cats on, but I would just take them out,the front 02s are the only ones you need,tuner can delete rear ones and or turn them off.If you have a rear mount turbo setup which means turbos after cats I would NOT have cats at all,throw em aways sell em whatever.regardless you need the front 02 sensors,you also need a 02 sensor after the turbo exhausts to tune the car right.

Not at all ,I have one after my turbo exhaust dump into the rear exhaust,If you look close at my pic you can see ,follow the exhaust from the tip back to the 5 bolt flnge on the right rear turbo,see the 2 sensor sticking out,perfect place for it,also a 02 sensor will n t work correct if you have it inline with boost,by that I mean you cant get a good AF before the turbo as the boost pressure messes with the 02,I found this out the hard way after trashing two 02 sensors.

No both front ones need to be used ,not sure you can tune one of the front two out,you have to buy an aftermarket wideband and use it I have mine mounted in the guage pod on pillar.

you dont need your front O2s either. depending on how the tune is. Mine is OLSD and my tune isnt effected by Narrowband 02s. its bascially a fuel injected Carb'd setup. you tell it what it needs
