Removing Thermostat?
My car is getting a little hot now that I have installed the turbo system. I cant fit a slim fan in front of the rad and I have the puller run off a fused switch. Any disadvantages of running the car without a T stat at all? I hear it will run cooler, but how much cooler even if my fan is running the whole time.
If you take out the thermostat the coolant will be constantly flowing, which would make it hard for the car to warm up which could cause problems
the thermostat, limits the coolant until it reaches a certain temperature then it opens and lets more coolant flow so it wouldnt be a good idea,

i dont know if anyone has had luck with restrictors instead of t stats.
disadvantages are, you will more than likely be in cold start comps or be running rich because the car isnt properly warmed up.
fix the issue.

In most cases, you need the cylinders hot enough to create enough seal (piston-wall gap), as well as to help atomize fuel. Unless the motor was specifically built for low coolant temps, you have to fix the issue another way.
