I know i put a greddy kit on and i showed o2 CELs for both sensors!i am in the process of ordering more with a high flow cat!From what i have been told running rich(cuz Emanage wasnt connected correctly) it caused my sensors to go bad! If your wires get melted you will probably need a new sensor/s!I just hope it is the o2 sensors and not me ecu!!any body know this too???

if the 02s are bad, it would run rich anyway, turbo or not. that's what is wrong w/ mine.

Youre throwing codes because the wires are melted.
Youre getting bad mpg because youre in limp mode - fix the wiring and reset the ecu.
No, o2's do not have fuses

it's in loop mode, not limp. it's running on preset air/fuel mixtuers, which aren't very specific, and rarely correct.
