Either put the sensors in or so some plugs to close off the bungs.

The PC V eliminates the use for them so I recommend buying a bung like stated above. However you can leave the O2 sensors in to act as the bung, if you are feeling lazy ha

The PC-V includes "O2 optimizers" (resistors) that completely bypass the O2 sensors so you might as well get rid of the unsightly and heavy, expensive *** pieces of junk. Basically the PC-V adds fuel and potentially spark to what the ECU is calling for with the assumption that AFR's are a perfect 14.2:1 or whatever it is the Delphi ECU commands so it doesn't chop the fuel the PC-V is adding. I'd much prefer to just flash the factory ECU like I have always done on my V8's, but there was a $400 price difference for me and the PC-V seems to work great. If I have any issues it's coming off in favor of the Power Vision most likely, though I hate paying for the unnecessary hardware.

Should be good to go man, what year bike and did you get the appropriate PC-V? I installed a 2010+ unit on my 2008 so it was a retro-fit. Especially with the relocated coils, etc.

One thing you will NEED to do after it is installed is to calibrate that TPS using a laptop or other with the bike running. This is a confusing and little documented procedure that Dynojet wasn't even that helpful with. I help explain that if need be, but IMO it is a MUST. You also have to go in and enable RevXtend if you want the extra 400 RPM rev limit.
