    Probably the BIGGEST help is the MPD F1 hood.

    off topic and prolly a stupid question but if your WP is electric then why run a Tstat? couldn you just turn it on and off to regulate cooling?

    just curious is all... sorry to hijack

    that would be so much work watching your temp gauge and switching it on and off...

    Yeah I agree, Itd be like removing your thermostat in your house and replacing it with a thermometer and a switch.

    03 GTP...Its got pulleys and stuff.

    you want your coolant moving all the time...

    else you'll get hot spots....


    then worse things happen...

    You want to COOL the coolant once the temp reaches a certain temp.

    Hence the thermostat.

    The electric waterpump allows you to have higher coolant flow rates.

    Gotta have the system capacity for it though.
