bypassing o2 sensors sensibly

I'm gonna be installing my euro headers in a few weeks. If I'm planning to get an ess blower eventually, should I just get the mobile programmer for $1000 in order to avoid CEL lights, or pay someone $250-$400 to relocate the sensors?

I think getting a tune would also give me more power vs just a relocation. But that again the net difference is at least $600


edit: f*ck, messed up the pricing of the tune in the poll, someone please fix it

i debated this same thing myself. i ultimately decided the handheld. ESPECIALLY if you're going to be going forced induction eventually. you're going to really want to be tuned then. in that case you can just get the new tune emailed to you.

and yes, you're going to get more out of the headers by having a matching tune. the price sucks, but i think it's your best option.
