Yeah I was planning on adding wideband, boost and oil temp guages. I already have an oil cooler, but I think I might have to get a smaller one because of the intercooler. Where do you suggest mounting the oil cooler because the intercooler takes up so much real estate in the front?

Are the ART test pipes worth the money? They certainly look impressive. I see they have extra long tubes to mount O2 sensors on, so where would you weld in some extra bungs for a wideband?

(1) Earl's #41610 16 row cooler
(1) 6' of -10AN Earl's Pro-lite hose (you can go with stainless or another brand if you want, but this stuff flexes better. also, i think i only ended up using 5').
(3) -10AN 90 degree swivel fitting & hose end (1 will go on the cooler, the other two will connect to the sandwich plate)
(1) -10AN 150 degree swivel fitting & hose end
(1) Mocal thermostatic sammich plate (thread = 20mm x 1.5)
(2) Mocal 1/2" BSP x -10 fitting (you need these because the mocal sandwich plate has BSP threading).
As for the bracket, you can piece together misc straps/plates/etc from Home Depot.

Also, I found Cheston's thread on my350z.com to be very helpful when putting together my oil cooler:

Note, he went with Earl's fittings for the sandwich plate that did not require adapter fittings.

I'll get an Osiris tune and see how much power it makes and see how I like it. I'm not looking for a track car, just a little more fun when driving, maybe then I'll switch to the 3.12" pulley. I'll stick with the stock clutch and change it when needed.
