any way, the pace seems to hold good rep,
but im thinking of stinking a 3i one on now or taking the water feed of the turbo in an effort to get more cooling
any one using a good thermostat they can recomend aswell
sorry to kinda hijack the thead, but at least its relavent lol

With all due respect have you had it set up? If you can boil it that quick thats quite
I wouldn't ever recomment taking a thermostat out. I bought a halfords one for mine just because it was there at the time, admittedly i run standard boost at the moment but with the fan on or driving along at only 10mph the needle sits well towards to cool end. No doubt if/when the power goes up it wont be up to the job.
I also wouldn't recommend disconnecting the turbos coolant supply although ive seen enough people do it with no problems.
