The 1ktze will not like loosing a hose, by the time you see something wrong its more than likely too late. I would advise this anyway even without the chip as your car gets older. I have an engine temperature monitor in which I can set the warning temperature & I can monitor it in difficult terrain or hilly country. This is something I have thought about before reconsidering a chip upgrade. Adding the extra horsepower will make overheating occur earlier if the cooling system is sub standard. The biggest issue with the 1ktze is it doesn't like to get hot.it won't overheat if all of the cooling system is functioning well, but a faulty radiator fan or a leaking hose/core would be enough for the engine to overheat.
However if you use more power during acceleration then you will use more fuel. With regards to fuel usage, when cruising the efficiency of the engine should be on par with the original design. Jaywindy I'm in the same boat,looking at options, except mines a 2001 model.
