which obd? If your turbo and using somthing like hondata crome uber etc i believe you can just disable the rear o2 sensor.

The rear O2 sensor is there to make sure the cat is functioning, it sees a low voltage at all times and does not fluctuate, unlike the front one.

First off the wideband isn't compatible with your ECU and secondly if you PUT a wideband there, it would read like 20:1 A/F ratio at all times...
