James, do you do a stat that opens at around 85-90 degrees? Mark disconnected and by-passed my turbo cooler 'cause it was running too cold, (won't be running it at all now as the Borg Warner turbo isn't water cooled), even put some aluminium foil in front of part of the rad, but still ran too cold on any thing other than urban roads.

Interesting idea.
Just to broaden the horizon a little bit, do modern cars turbo cars say an Evo, Impreza, Focus ST/RS, Audi turbos etc run turbo coolers? Would these cars also benefit from one too? And also what do you ascertain as when a turbo cooler NEEDS to be fitted?

No, I am being factual mate, do you know what that turbo was first used on? I hope so after that comment... so lets hear your knowledge...?
Its you who was talking only about your old technology turbos... James was aiming the discussion at all types of turbo.
As for being behind as a company, I have 105 installers all over the world remapping more marques of cars than any other one company on the planet.
Interestingly, Kenny is currently recalibrating an April 2012 BMW 535D for an installer over in Greece, without ever having seen it, and we are working with him using data logs of AFR, ACT, EGT and pump / injector pressure online from his dyno thousands of miles away... sounds pretty current to me, but humour me, what is your company doing right now?

my second post was purely ment to show you a pointless post so when you read one you might know when you type one
my first reply to james was an honest question and you just came across to try and shoot me down cos ive not used a gt series turbo or something newer well in fact i bet the majority of cossie owners still use the t34 lol
so i see my first question to james as a valid one for us all
i hope you take that on bored
many thanks

I managed to get 32.1mpg driving to Tonys. Even with Tony thrashing mine around and a spirited drive to the dyno and back the car still done 18.43mpg

Would this be ok to let cold water in the system?
If you've been driving on a motorway the turbo cooler would be by passed via the thermostat, so the water will be stone cold on the turbo cooler.
So soon as the water temps rise it will allow the cold water from the turbo cooler back into the system.

Will these be different to the one you're selling?

The small stats that do the job i want are hard to come by,
I have one that works perfectly, but its just a little ugly and hard to hide away.
Ideally you would also need a second return welded onto the header tank for the bypass piping.

I don't think that is a problem really, I would be quite happy to modify the header tank while mine is in bits and i am powder coating the tank anyway. Could always sit the thermostat on the inner wing and make a bit of a cover to smarten it up a bit.
It seems easy enough to find inline thermostat housings with 32mm ish in/outlets, I've not found any smaller ones. I would use a 12v 3 way solenoid as Rod suggested but dont want to end up with running another gauge to give an output to drive the solenoid. Maybe if one of the monitors on the market could do this...

The inline stats wont really do the job properly as they will just stop the flow, It would be better than cooling cold water down but my idea was to use the hot water from the turbo to aid warm up, so we need to divert this straight back to the header tank, re diverting it thorough the cooler when its up to temperature.
