Some people leave the front 02's, and delete the rest. I deleted it all, all 4 02's and both cats. The cats are gone unless they are added to the downpipe, because the crossover on a typical kit.

Yup, Im not sure how he may set them up, but if both are in the crossover, you might as well have one 02 sensor.

IMO just put a wideband on any boosted vehicle and move on.

Personally I'd leave both front O2's hooked up, there is some benefit to re-enabling at least the STFT's when the tune is complete.

KB's kit has one right after the driver side manifold in the crossover and one in the log manifold right before the turbo flange.

Keep both front o2s, and no just 1 will not be enough, you need 1 for each bank. Even though the crossover is shared, it will read both banks separately. As far as cats...haha, yea right
