I added low temp thermostat when I replaced the water pump and engine mount. Also added S center radiator and a 996 front bumper. Noticed cooler/more stable temps. Added the 996 bumper not 993 as previously stated at same time as S radiator so cant say which change made more difference. Also plan on adding a GT3 style top bumper vent for added look.

Oh, this is interesting. Is the 993 front bumper a direct plug and play? If so, would you have pictures of your vehicle that can be shared on the forum? I didn't know or think this was possible. Did the temperatures end up being cooler based on the bumper change? Or was this a direct result of the centre radiator?
