Your engine uses the 02 sensors to help determine if youre running rich or lean.

You can just get a bung welded in for about $50 at an exhaust shop, then your code will be gone and you wont run rich/lean.

running open loop (no primary O2) without heavily tuning the car is begging to have it blow up.

keep in mind tuning is something that requires a wideband O2 and a few hours in the car.
not the person you got the chip from saying it's a "tuned" map...
