Mount a relay connected to the positive battery terminal and switch it over using the Pink/Black wire from the ignition switch (12v Ignition).

You can tie into the fuel pump relay. The o2 only draws half a amp no need for a dedicated relay.

I did this when I installed my SLP headers and no issues have appeared.
