I am building up a TT engine and was contemplating putting a lower temp stat, has any one else done this, is there any pros or cons to doing this, I found a thread below but it never answers the question on a TT

I've fitted a lower temp stat to mine (non turbo) & its fine.

 

Runs at a slightly lower temperature generally but I'm swapping back to an 89'c one for winter.

yep i run one in my s16 thinks its 82 or 84 deg rather than 89.

its a quintin hazel item from my ocal factors and aint had any probs with it, probs a bit low for winter but ill just fit a normal grill back on if it causes any probs rather than the mesh one i have on it now.

I've run a 72degree in my Mi16 without problems for about 2 or 3 years.

Thanks for replies, where did you get the 72 deg one from C_W?.

Is there any gain other than reduced temp, is there any downsides to running a cooler engine.

Anybody with a Turbo engine have any input to this thread?.
