what type of thermostat for boost
well my thermostat is finally taking a dump on and me and i wanted to know if it would be wise to put a mugen or spoon thermostat in seeing that they are colder and maybe of a higher quality and will last longer. In boosted cars will this be a wise decesion to have a colder thermostat or go OEM

This is the same thing I did. I also made a switch for my fan so I can turn it on whenever I want. Some people just jump the thermo switch to make the fan run at all times but it will burn your fan motor out faster.
The lowere temp thermostat is a good idea. The OEM thermostat is great as well. There is no need to spend a ton of money on a Spoon one compared to OEM. Just dont run without the thermostat.

same setup i have but the only issue i have with the car is coolant
cant seem to get the lower hose seal up right could it be that i have the gsr lower radiator hose on a civic and need the del sol dohc one. But i think im going to get an oem one i believe the temp for that is 195 right i was wondering if oem had any lower temp than the orignal
