Simply put, you're burning through them. Running lean makes your exhaust temps hot as hell and having your o2's overheated for too long toasts them.

Upgrade your injectors and dial back your A/F some. The nice thing about more fuel is it cools things down AND keeps you from running your cylinders at the edge of predetonation.

isnt that kinda of a little bit more than what u should be pushing with the t25. ive always kinda heard that 10-12 psi should be the most and still keep it pretty safe. but if it works for u

how are u testing ur o2 sensors to know that they are going out every month?
