You used the wrong O2 sensors

and didn't crimp them correctly and so are giving bogus signals to the ECU is my guess.

Bosch makes the ones Porsche buys and Bosch has multi-million dollar machines that do the crimp and then test. I've used them to replace both my pre-cat sensors.

When my CEL kept coming on for various 02 sensor faults the first thing I tried (based on what I'd read in these forums) was to thoroughly clean the MAF with electrical contact cleaner and Q-tips.

No problems since then and that was almost a year ago. Probably worth a try for a few dollars worth of cleaner, although you do need some tamper proof star (torx) bits to get at the sensor.
