thermostat? lower than 180

[dirtybird]

Does anyone know where you can geta thermostat with a temp rating lower than 180degrees?

Any autoparts store. O'reillys and napa both carry 170s and 160s

Keep in mind the ECU wants a 190° in there.

The lowest I have found is a 180 from napa, but O'reillys has them as well.

after how much work should you put a new thermostat in? what is i did 16g, boost controller, injectors, s-afc, intake, exhaust....would you need another one for that, ify ou are running 18 to 20 psi?

You don't want to go too cold. The only time you NEED to change the thermostat is if the car will not stop overheading because of a non mechanical problem (such as you put on a fmic...nothing is wrong with the car you only fuxed it up by messing with the airflow).
