I really hope none of you guys or gals have a problem with your thermostat because if you do, you're in for a big surprise!!
The supercharger has to be unbolted and the air ducts removed so you can get to the thermostat!
Ain't that a *****?? If you're not a do it yourselfer, it could cost you $350.00 or more for a new $12.00 thermostat.
I called stillen and talked to John in R&D and he said "sometimes that's the price you pay for high performance parts. Hahaha.

Hi Don,
I thought the thermostat should be changed every 4-5 years, maybe not. When I get my pulley changed to a 3.3 I'll have them change it for good housekeeping.
