[QUOTE="Catmonkey, post: 15808933, member: 124025"] I see your location is TX. If you're running air conditioning, your fans are going to come on and stay on, but they won't necessarily be on full tilt. Your intercooler fans have nothing to do with the thermostat and are controlled by IAT2 temps and are a changeable parameter. I've played around with the on and off temps and they're going to pretty much run all the time. Setting them higher may just delay when they turn on by a minute or two depending on ambient temps. The fans are trigger by the intercooler pump. If the intercooler pump isn't running, it doesn't take long for IAT2 to get to 100*. I wouldn't want to set it lower than that. I am running the Reische and my logs show operating temps in the low 180* range. The fan controls in the 2011+ are a bit more complicated than a low speed and a high speed setting. Ideally, if you want to drive your car in the winter, put the OEM thermostat back in and switch it when the weather warms up, especially if your car is a daily driver. But I'm with you. If there was a correct thermostat rated at 180*, I'd be running it. [/QUOTE]
