you can turn the rear o2's off in the tune, you will not need to buy mil elimators....

extensions lengthen the wiring for the o2's, eliminators (if you can find them) send a "good" signal all the time, if you have an ON road pipe (with cats) you don't need them, like said, easier just to turn off via the handheld tuner

can i borrow my friend handheld tuner and turn off my, then give him back ? he live 30 min away from me, and he told me, he can turn that off for me using his tuner, im not sure it going to work, cause I beleive the tuner had to plug in the car the whole time.

i think tuners lock onto VIN's bro, well most do, so i dunno if you'll be able to use your friends tuner to do changes on yours

If it's a Diablo or SCT, they "mate" to the car. It will not works on yours.
