The car won't run properly and you will get a CEL.
The PCM is absolutely dependant on readings from the front WBO2S to determine fuel delivery.

I'll try to stray something on it and let it set for awhile. I had to Cut the wire
.

we tried everything to remove that O2 sensor, a 22mm wrench, O2 sensor socket, then when it was damn near round we tried a 3ft pipe wrench with a 3ft pipe on the end of it and two guys standing on the manifold.

Oof. You stripped the front sensor?
Yes, the retail price on that senso is $600. $300 isn't bad, but you might luck out and find someplace that will sel it for less.
It is a wide-band sensor and it is not interchangeable with some of the cheaper WBO2S like the LSU4.2 or L1H1.

Soak the threads with a penetrating oil, the kind that is advertised for rust-locked bolts.
I like the 3M stuff.
Then, using the proper size box wrench or crows-foot, work the sensor out and in, pushing it a little harder in the out direction each time until it is out.
Then, you can chase the threads with a tap and die. They are M18x1.5.
You just have to muscle it with the right tool.

If yes, then what is the socket size?

I posted a "Greddy turbo install help" thread here.
Read through that before installing it.

Anyhow, as far as GReddy turbos go, my car is currently down at Mazsport; I'm having Scott do the works on it. I'm having him install the RP Supercat along with the turbo (and a new clutch, and a WEGO sensor system, and a Profec E-01; hopefully if anyone can tune it up right, he can. And he'll have plenty of time, too, since I just got short notice orders to go to Iraq this week and won't be home for several months.

Hey Scudrunner,
Is there any chance you can post the emanage map once Scott tunes it with the RP midpipe. I'm sure there's other turbo owners out there that want to get the midpipe but have no idea of tuning.... like me.
