Default Turbo Cel issue

With the inevitable cel bound to come on after I hopefully get my zpi stage 0 kit installed, is the cel going to cause any problems with how the car performs? Is it going to make the car stall out or go into limp mode? I already have some antifoulers ready to try that out and also some ik22 iridium plugs to help out, but if those antifoulers don't do the job, what else can I do to try to fix that?(I know about the zpi o2 sim), but not too sure if that works. Cause last time I checked their website, on the stage 0 page it says that the o2 sim wouldn't correct the cel.But any help would be much appreciated.

The antifoulers should work. I did mine when I put a header on and never had the CEL come back on again. When I switched to turbo, no CEL's at all.

I got what hopefully are the right size antifoulers 18mm and I drilled a 1/2 hole into one of em. So I'll give it a try, but I just haven't heard of a consistent number of people that have this work for them. That's why i'm trying to find out some alternate solutions. As long as the the cel doesn't affect the performance(stalling, limp mode) I can live with it. That's my main concern though.

Did you use wd40 to help loosen up the sensor, or did you just loosen it up as is?

Sorry man, yeah that was for you. I asked cause I heard some o2 sensors get cross threaded and using wd40 before loosening it up might help a little. But, not entirely sure if that would affect the whole antifouler fix.

How much do code readers cost? Or could somewhere like shucks be able to read a cel for me? This is all in the event that the antifoulers don't work for me.
