A lower temperature thermostat will have absolutely no impact on how fast or slow an engine heats up from cold start, that is a function of other factors. And as your turbo has an entirely different engine in it, I would not be surprised it is different.

well, if the thermostat opens at 160, it will take longer to get to 180 than if it opened at 180.
So is this a normal thing?
Pretty much every other car I own, including air cooled and water cooled porsches warm up much faster. Granted they have different larger engines, but given EPA regulations, it seems odd to me that this car would take so damn long to warm up.

Point is that it will get to 160F in the same time as any other thermostat that opens at any higher temperature than 160F.

And long before the coolant reaches 160F, the oil is showing temperature and the car is blowing heat.

It refers to your original comment about your 911 getting oil temperature's up before it hits 180 on the coolant.
