I just had a look at capa's website and they have a 160 degree thermostat for $259.00, but has no info on what it does or what gains it provides, has anyone seen or have one of these??

I thought running cooler was a better thing anyhows?

Check out BPT website they also sell thermostats.
I think the idea is to trick the ecu into thinking that the engine is cooler therefore adding abit more juice

The cooler, the better for sure.

i think BPT thermostat replacement is around $50 ...

Reading some of the stuff in the edit threads, the new software can control the temperature.

Thats what i dont get, why is this one so expensive is it the same thing or does it do something else??

The cooler stat paves the way for an edit to drop the fans to that heat range. The fans come in at 100deg C and turn of at around 94 or 96deg C (from memory). Puting the cooler stat in reduces heatsoak on the engine, with the new CAPA/SCT flash tuners you would be able to take further advantage of the system and make the fans come in and out at that cooler stage. However I would not run the car with a cooler stat less than we specifiy as the "Insufficient Temperature for Closed Loop Check Operation could be inhibited by the PCM.
The target temp is calibrated to the thermostat. Typically 20degF less than the stock thermostat hence a a 160degF stat is too cold.

Hope this helps out.
