Dommo Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 I don't know as I don't run a temp sender. That stems from the days the engine was cheaper than the sender! Change to laminova is packaging related rather than trying to fix a particular problem. I don't seem to have any over/under cooling issues but couldn't tell for sure. Other than nothing has blown up.

(V busy at the moment so little time to research....) I am running a remote oil cooler now but was not when just N/A tuned. When N/A tuned I did upgrade to a Radtec though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
