...big recomendation for turbo guys. I thought that this would just raise the boiling temp of the coolant to allow hotter running, but it makes my car run cooler. My water temp (and oil temp) was getting up to 220. With the new rad cap it's sticking right around 190-195. The oil temp isn't rising any higher than that anymore either so I think this is the best $22CAD I've spent on the car. For reference the NISMO was over $100CAD with a 6-8 week lead time. When I wouldn't afford the time or money for the NISMO cap I decided to pull the poser plate off the front too (looks bare).
BTW I also pulled over 20#'s of boost briefly on the highway last nite and actually maxed the turbo out passing before noticing the dial was (still) turned too high. No aparent probs. Glad I hooked up the water lines before any of these probs/incodents.
