Yes, since he did I have a question. You guys that have the PFC and the aftermarket sensor in the thermostat housing.(Like Rynberg) How much higher is the reading at the housing?
Thanks

One other thing, the water temp at the throttle body upon shut down does rise about 10 degrees and then it decreases.
In contrast, the temp at the filler neck keeps going and going to 240 degrees. The only explanation I can think of for this is that the turbos coolant lines feed into the filler neck and so coolant is heated up by the turbos after shutdown. If your sensor is on the filler neck, the temp rises like crazy.
Hence, my auxiliary electric water pump that keeps water circulating until the filler neck temp drops below 200.

poman, I hope so. My fans come on at 225 on my Delfi water temp gauge. Low temp fans come on (with stock thermosensor) at 221. That would be a +4 vs the stock temp sensor. I still need to do the Miata thermoswitch.

The t-stat housing location is the worst-case reading in the cooling system.
