I did go with a normal temperature thermostat and an water pump with a metal impeller. Yes everybody hates me now, but i know what i'm doing and why i've done it. Also i know that there are different metal impeller water pumps for different engines. So just hate me.

Not to rile the board up, Markus, but what are thoughts surrounding this choice?

Everyone gets to make choices, and sometimes has to live with the outcome of those choices.
