what is the basis for doing the low temp thermostat? i asked my indie mechanic and he said he would not do it as he thinks Porsche designed it right out of the box...he said unless it was a race engine he'd not do it.

i live in the San Diego area....you know what my weather is like.... nice year round. is there a reason why I would or would NOT benefit from this?

i am doing my waterpump in a couple weeks.
