I looked into the 160...was told that is a little too cold for winter temps and the car/oil may not get warm enough...do you adujst your tune for summer/winter?
180-190 temp in the winter?
kenne bell comes with a 160 tstat. i love it
Gotta love how the 05-06 thermastats are $55 while the 07+ are $28...damn I'm tired of being the red-headed step child!
What about for us 05-06 guys?
...BY no means am I taking sides....these are just observations.
Learn how to read....I said this was highly recommended for all FI cars-that is short for Forced Induction....I would expect as experienced of a mechanic as you to know that...
How you can say keeping a car cooler is a waste of money, especially for $28 makes me wonder how good of a mechanic you are..or claim to be.

Whipple's too.
Here is the what I don't understand about some of these posts: If the temp is already WAY above the opening point of your current thermostat, what will putting a lower temp thermostat do? They are both open...
What should I do????
I just bought a electric water pump and I am a 06...
If I let my car sit or drive it then let it sit in traffic I will creep to 230+ bad...
Is 160 too cold for a twin turbo setup that has two 1600+ degree "devils balls" under the hood?
I must have a 180 tstat since I am a 2006... So I think 170 won't do shit...
Its no shrould that causes the sititng still creep up, and this thermo helped me. Maybve the best bet is a 160 for the 180 05-06 guys since thats a sim drop as me going from 192 to 170.
Yup. I retracted my earlier statement. I forgot to consider that the '07+ has the t-stat in a different location so you're probably seeing similar results as an '05 going from 180 to 160. My bad.
Gotcha! Have any insight about roamers comment? Im not sure exactly how its helping so much either?
