It's been a long time since I've seen this question so I may be wrong....

By doing a google search, I pulled up a few places selling a Hypertech 160* T-stat. http://dagostinoracing.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=11855 http://underbid.com/action/display/item/1050983572/sku/H581011-sk42441.html I'm sure there are more out there

T TheButcher Member Jul 16, 2002 39 0 6 Oviedo, Florida Aug 18, 2006 #5 Aug 18, 2006 #5 Thanks for the help. I'm running a 180 now and with the turbo everything runs a little hotter. I found the hypertech at summit also. Thanks again.

Sounds like a nice setup you have there... any track times?
