You only have one o2 sensor & it is fitted to the top of the downpipe where it meets the turbo.

You may have a very thin second sensor fitted in the bottom of the DP, but this is a "cat on fire" sensor & you can just unplug & remove this if you like without any consequences.

If you have a VTA dump valve it will cause it, it will prob need a stronger spring as you will be sucking in un metered air....

Try blanking it off to test.
