O2 you need it....

air temp is only for accessories..

I had a quick chat to Rob at Creatd about a Microtech too, as im having o2 troubles.
He basically said, if it was causing trouble that the Microtech will 'remove' the o2 sensor.
Thats pretty much in dummy terms, im not sure to what extent 'removed' means.
Have a chat to Rob, as I've seen you've just had some work done there, and get his insight on it, as he's quite knowledgeable when it comes to the Microtech.

i spoke to creatd and they said that both are not needed.
if you want to messure air/ fuel mixture use the o2
and the air temp can be used to retard timing
so you can use them but there not necessary

just if anybody els needed to know

The air temp isn't required but is used usually to compensate

ie, hot air = retard timing
cold air = advance timing

As for o2, they are only used for cruise, WOT doesn't matter. It just means it'll be depending on your MAP sensor for cruise mixtures also..

Why don't you want to use these anyway?

i think i will be using a air temp sensor,dont see why i shouldn't use it, just makes for a liitle more work when the bulid is almost finished,

air temp is definatley worth setting up so the car is safer/more consistent through all seasons.
