To O2 Elim or to not

[lordnikon_04]

I'm getting a 3" VRS turboback exhaust very soon for my GSX. I would just like to get some opinions on weather or not i should get the O2 eliminator. I am still running my t25 for now but want to upgrade this summer. Would it be safe to run the elim. on the t25? And would an O2 elim. for $100 extra be better or would a new O2 housing for $200-300 when i buy my upgraded turbo be better(by better i mean which will work better and which will give me a better performance gain for the money)?

I personally like the O2 eliminator because to take off my exhaust all I have to do is unbolt it from the turbo and take off the hangers and it's off. Some people complain about having to take off their exhaust to change the oil filter, but I don't have a problem with it. If I had to do it over I would get the O2 eliminator and save the extra $$ for more parts.

If you plan on upgrading the o2, then go for it. I just ported mine, which you could also do. I think it'd be easier to disassemble if you had the stock or aftermarket o2 though since a lot of stuff requires dropping the exhaust. It'd be harder to get to the bolts in the turbine housing with the eliminator. Just my 2 pennies.
