The real difference comes from not just when the T stat starts to open, but the temperature that it reaches a fully open position.
I have used NOTHING else in my engines since 2007. If someone requests a factory unit, I request that they take their business to someone who isn't a developer, and will do whatever they want.

I have struggled to understand the lower steady-state operating temperature. How does the thermostat opening earlier (@ 160* F) actually lower the steady-state temperature, instead of just delaying it? The cooling system must have the ability to lower the temperature below 160*?
160* thermostat sounds like it has benefits, but what are the drawbacks? I'm sure Porsche didn't select 180* for their operating temp without reason.
