He might be referring to people running a separate engine management system such as megasquirt. The part about the ecu erasing maps and switching from 4 to eight cylinders makes me think he's talking about MS.
You know an O2 sensor is bad because you will have a CEL. Do you have any? If so get them checked for free at an autoparts store and replace the supposed bad part. Then get back to us and answer Olderguys post.
