I'm not saying that is causing some of the issues, but i feel it is definitely something to keep an eye on

so .................... did you actually install the sensor they gave you into the wrong location ?

apparently. we cut and soldered the old sensor wires to the one we got. I plan to remove this sensor before it gets practically welded (stuck like most 02 sensors do) and try to find the correct one. I won't be driving the car until I get it tuned, so I feel i am playing it relatively safe

I'm not sure what that sensor will be telling the ECU but I wouldn't do any tuning until you have the right sensor in there .

so I just looked at the website that i bought the sensor from, It said that the front o2 sensor acts as an AFR sensor as well, so I'm almost 100% sure that this may be throwing off the AFR's

noob question for y'all. any short term risks to running a stock cat with the stock greddy turbo? I'm pretty sure there's not, but I just want reassurance

O2 sensors whole purpose is to measure AFR's man.... thats where the AP gets its readings from.... do you have an aftermarket AFR gauge as well?

and as far as leaving your cat in it's only so long before it clogs with the turbo, better off gutting it if you don't plan on getting a midpipe soon.... there is a DIY of how to gut the cat
