The problem may be that the t-stat alone is not much less than the whole assembly - Boxster t-stat

I went ahead and bought a 160 deg one from Jake Rabys site since he shows dynos with improved performance on a cooler T-stat. Might as well spend another 100 for 5 extra HP.
I cant seem to get ahold of him though as the site charged me for 2 and not one.

His Dad is in the hospital, so he has been out of work.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Does no one else help out with his site or orders? Seems like a lot to do for one person.
