Ok, I bought a CA18 engine which has a sensor on the cat, then I realized that my ecu is for non cat engine... some mechanic swapped sensors by mistake and fried my ecu, so now, I purchased a new ecu which is for the cat engine, can I rewire the Cat sensor to the ecu? cause my wirring harness is for the non cat application... can I rewire it from outside the harness like for example following the pin from the ecu and just connecting a wire to the sensor...? (ofcourse by giving it power and ground for the other wires) is that possible... please help, thanks!

Don't even bother with that. Just make sure the car is wired correctly and make sure you wire connect the O2 sensor.

Bro, but my sensor is handing down from after the turbo directly... is that the 02 or the Cat sensor? cause my car is running rich and Im somtimes getting a thought that sensor might be the reason... so is that the 02 or cat sensor?!
