Very nice work mate,

I just wanted to add that these calculations while being spot on, provide you with a percentage difference between two set ups... Not the true accuracy of your speedo... Don;t assume that the stock setup is completely accurate!

So if your stock setup was actually out by 10 percent, then you have to factor this in with any changes you make!

Is that right vq~gangsta???

SEE ME CAR PICS AND COMMENTS ON ME VQ THANKS NEW HERE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


most people go with the AU thermo fans as they flow beter then the 16" thermos. you wire it into the ECU. all the wiring is already there basically, just need to put some bigger fuses in there and then have the memcal retuned so it turns the thermos on and off at the correct temps. have a look at reapers VP SS thread for info. leave the thermostat in as is
