Apart from the obvious, is there any benefits from it over the standard ones? A tuning benefit etc?Also where do you get them from and how much do they go for roughly. Just concidering if I actually need one and why. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/68500-which-thermostat-and-why/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
