Special order 160* stats

I thinking I could build some 160* engine thermostat's in the near future. There are none in the warehouses or in Germany. If I do decide too build some I would need to do a 4 stat minumum. They should be about $120.00 apiece
Just need some input before I special order them. Thanks ___PTE___

Jesse, let me know if it brings your temps down after the install. If it actually helps, I'll get one as well. Thanks man!

will do

I probably won't get to installing for a couple weeks but I surely will let you know.

Since I've been using the scanguageII for a while now and have a solid baseline to compare against.

received!

I'll try and get it installed in the next couple weeks and give feedback.

So far the experience with PTE has been great.

Cool. Hope it brings temps down. The Kleemann set up has an efficiant intercooling system but I've definitely noticed underhood temps are much higher than when the car was N/A. The car is an absolute BEAST & a gas to drive. I'm switching to R compound tires when my Goodyear F1s get used up (they can't hang with this power ). You might want to consider an R compound as well Jesse - just food for thought.
