I'd pick up a wideband too for tuning your AFR's.

Think of it like this... when you hook up coolant lines you're not only cooling your piece of ---- used turbo down, but you're also heating your motor up. I've run my 14b uncooled for many many miles, gone on long trips, I even have the center housing clocked like 20* towards the block to get the oil drain to line up better. No leaks or blown turbo so far mang.

I would look into selling the t25 and even just a nice t3 or td05 will make it that much more worth it.
I have seen countless people using the t25 which is perfect for instant boost but really on a ZC you want the top end

I like my Zeitronix wideband, $279 if you are just going to use the laptop for tuning. Extra if you want a gauge, about $379 for a round gauge, $399 for their rectangular display that shows several parameters, these are the kit prices.

I got an LC-1 with sensor for 180 shipped. Then I bought an eBay 0-20 volt DC panel meter and use it for my guage. Wideband with dataloging and two ouputs and guage for 194 shipped.
