What the bypass uses is a 1 Meg resistor in place of the 02 sensors, it basically ends all function of the 02 system and the adaptive fuel, if you view a SERT data log after the resistors are installed ,the mapped VE's and the corrected/calculated(by the factory 02's) VE numbers will run in unison. It is your call if you choose to use a fuel management system that incorporates them(02 sensors) or not. I feel there are advantages and disadvantages to both ways.
