[QUOTE="Dinosgt, post: 15809442, member: 169099"] Thanks for all the replies folks. Appreciate it. Catmonkey - I don’t have HE fans - still running the stock HE. But what I noticed was with the stock fan running on high, which seems to be commanded in the tune at 189, it actually does a decent job keeping the IAT2 down. I know it’s not a great amount of airflow, but it’s enough when ambient is 65 ish to keep me below 110-115 even when sitting at long lights and slow traffic. Prior to the tune, the fan wouldn’t kick on until 207 and the IAT2s would sour at idle, even with engine temps under 200. I know the intercooler is commanded to basically always run - and I’m ok with that. Frankly I like the fan running, but I read in several threads that some folks have toasted the relays or the junction at the fuse box after a tune because it runs so much - something I want to avoid. This is one reason I’m thinking of running a colder thermostat, ie to give the fan a break (once cruising etc). My fear was that 170 is too cold. But it seems that folks are seeing mid 180s which I am ok with. Reische actually goes as far as recommending a thinner oil - but I’m not feeling that at all...
