RE: thermostat
What are you asking? It's a thermostat, the lower the temp, the quicker it will open, letting the coolant go through the radiator.
Do you run hot? Do you race? Do you live in the desert?
You know it's like 10hrs of labor to replace the thermostat?

RE: thermostat
ok ya, i know about the labor, but im getting it replaced with the timing belt kit. i went ahead and ordered the 71c, because ive asked around, and its a pretty uniform answer, ..its better to run cooler to an extent, and this is within said perameters. my next question was, because i will be running cooler now, can i safely run more boost? and if so, use a manual boost controller or what?

RE: thermostat
don't worry about it, i live in mid florida and drive my car hard all the time in 90+ degree heat in pump mode. the car willpretty much regulate itself -itwon't make aton of power if its hot out. personally, i would leave the oem thermostat in it, unless you plan on running race fuel and flooring it relentlessly.
