i have a 180* t-stat 1 year old
new waterpump 6 months old
stock rad

i have been having cooling issues sence my t5 swap

ok i can see the water flowing nicely and u can see that the t-stat opens but after awhile it doesnt seem to open any more then it gets really hot like 2 bars from the 270 mark on the stock gauge! i know i need a real one!

but then it starts shooting water out of the raditor? because i think it gets stock closed!

?
